Oh well, there's always deer hunting. ;)

Rumor has it the farmers have decided to leave the rest of the corn until spring in Minnesota. Probably best for everyone to take the rest of the season off in this state.

Waiting to pick corn out of the leavings, presumably.

You could be onto something there. I always thought she *hates* picture time and is praying she'll spot a rooster off to the side, so she can end picture time. Maybe there is more going on here.

None of those birds have extra toes.

Or maybe you mean these photos showing the results of my last 6 shots taken last season? Awww.... Looks like I forgot to include it in the Jan 31 photo. I'll have to try to be better about that going forward.

You mean like these photos from the past week?

I don't know whose gun that is. Never seen it before. 🤷 Oh, wait... Maybe it is mine. I'm just used to seeing it next to all the roosters downed with it.

Did I mention I am jealous?

Sure...sure... Hey, nothing wrong with shooting those tame private land birds.... If that's your thing, I mean. :p

Also possible Iowa has shipped oodles of them up there. I hear they are so thick in Iowa that the roads are getting greasy and dangerous with road kill roosters littering the roadways. They might need to pay people to thin the herd.

Probably ND birds that got crowded out down to sd

I got a good bit of the leg and foot on one today (12-15 yard, at contact, bird that held tight). But I was ever so careful to not shoot the little first year spur. I was worried that might require going up on the Canadian for an offering, even thought he wasn't immature.

O Or did you mean because of the army of hunters and heard of dogs?

They wouldn't be allowed to use the atv on public land in SD though, right? Other than a trail down to the water on a wpa? I guess I don't remember checking for that in SD, but in MN, almost all WMAs don't allow vehicles past the parking location.

That thing is amazing -- in a "I can't believe that exists" kind of way.

Congrats! Agree, the weather was great. Some of us have to do it on public land, without any misses -- but we make do. :p Our 2 roosters did sit pretty good. I think the second rooster was about 6 feet to the right of Honey and 8 to 10 feet in front of me before he launched. A short tailed...

I've found them in some sparse wild sunflowers this year too.

Moist air and plants hold scent better too, so harder for those gremlins to evade our 4 legged friends.
