    Fall gobblers

    The next thing I would try is follow the food. Here the poults are still with the hens. She will take them to hay fields for grasshoppers and such. Also, small acorns and shoots in the woods. But basically, you need to walk your ass off.

    Fall gobblers

    Cruiz around after a rain. They often will get out in the open to dry their feathers.

    2024 Upland Season

    I saw a guy almost kill a dog in a dove field once. the third time that I went over and told him his dog was too hot, I wasn't very nice about it. Poor dog was gulping with every other breath. Sure sign of overheating!

    2024 Upland Season

    I've never liked to use dogs on doves. Always hot and the feathers come off to easy. I always cleaned out my dog's mouth after every retrieve, but They still will get choked on them sometimes.

    Looking for expert opinions

    As stated above, lots of if ands and buts. Rule of thumb early morning and the golden hour, heavier cover for roosting, I've seen roosters fly in way after shooting hours! Then most but not all will move to feed. They like to walk but will fly there. Feed can mean middle of a corn field to cover...

    Land prices.

    It's probably old coal money. From the 70's until the war on coal, coal mines were prevalent in their area. Rumor used to be that the town (800 people) contained the most multi-millionaires per capita in the state.

    Land prices.

    This one is hard to believe. These record prices I've been hearing about come mainly from Amish/ Mennonite community near me. A buddy called me and told me this one last night. He owns his home place that is within the expanding area of above community. Old farmer neighbor of his owned 100 acers...

    Don't give up on your dog

    Yeah, don't give up, I still see this scenario. People take their new dog out a few times. It's very disappointing for whatever reason. They give up and make a pet out of them, when they should be pouring it on! A buddy of mine took his young shorthair to Iowa once. Flushed every bird it could...
