Bird numbers were up considerably this year compared to last year. Charles Mix county mostly. The most birds I have seen since I believe 2006.

FYI Picking up 62 roosters is not illegal. I was not aware complete disclosure of final disposition of roosters was required while posting on this forum. Would it bother you if I told you I killed 6 roosters all on the same day without disclosing we were hunting under party rules? Just asking.

When I am not at work, everything is done on my phone. That should not shock anyone. When I retire, I will buy a computer for home use. Wife has one in an emergency now but the last thing I want to do when I am not working is spend more time at a computer. Woodcock opened on the 18th so I...

I appreciate all the skepticism... and I have been off work for the last 4 weeks so I have not been at a computer. It was nice! We hunted 6.5 days. We were never over the limit. Limit is 3 per day. Limit to take out of state is 15 per person. We only took about 45 birds home. The rest we...

4 of us with 4 labs spent 6 days hunting douglas and hutchinson counties. We hunted a little private, a little public, and a good amount of min maintenance roads. The private places were flat out slammed with birds. Never saw so many and we have been hunting the same private ground for 5-10...

We are from SC and take pecans as a gift to all the private farms we hunt. No pay to hunt, just a thank you for the opportunity to access their land.

Thanks for the report and pics. We leave this friday for a 6 day hunt. Hope to post favorable comments when we return.

Yes. Thanks for the great post IdahoCountryBo.

I hunt a lot of ditches and never have had a problem. Not sure how I would react but I may take the opportunity to ask permission to hunt his CRP! This would either set him off or make him reconsider his poor attitude.

My condolences. It's always sad to hear about the passing of friends. You are all friends of a different kind. The best kind. john

I'm jealous! Be safe out there and have fun. See all you mid season hunters in 5 weeks from yesterday!!!!

We turned 32 into slim jims/snack sticks on one occasion. I don't hunt them anymore. They were very good. Consistency was a little too fine but taste was good. The only other suggestion is to fill a low spot in your field. (joke) please don't have a heart attack

Am I wrong? Just asking. If you don't get a head, neck or heart shot... You have a wounded bird that's gonna get away without a dog, and sometimes even with a dog. This is why I shoot #6 with IC. If you don't get one of the three shots I just mentioned, you had better pulverize both legs and...

It's a sad day when now a cheap box of shells is $12. I remember when.......... Times have certainly changed and lately it seems like time is at warp speed. I would bet lunch, and I'm not much of a betting man, some of those birds you "missed" were leaving with shot in them. Don't know how...

The following was posted by PeteRevvv just a few weeks ago on another thread. Pete gave great info and advice on how to hunt opening week and avoid the crowds. Reposted below. PeteRevv "I have hunted that general area once a year for a number of decades. There has been good numbers within 20...

Most birds I shoot are erupting from within 10 yards of me from my dog. Which is why I choose #6. I'm not hunting beside someone else's dog. Yes, I have another hunter and dog with me but not generally close enough to shoot at their bird. If you are a walker without a dog, you need to stay...

We hunt 6 days end of November or beginning of December. I've gotten one box of #6 heavy shot and then have lead #5 after that. This year I will be getting two boxes of #6 heavy shot and then have my lead for back up. Sometimes I even use #6 lead if it's not windy and on the warmer side. IC...

You all are giving me a good chuckle today. Wish I were closer so I could join in on the traditions. As one commercial says, "Make memories today as we are not promised tomorrow."

I surmise MadPete will debut mid to late October?

thanks PeteRevvv for the information on opening week. I have never heard anyone speak about opening week like that before. You have seemed to adapt well to crowded and hot conditions. Maybe when I am older and can't take the cold or just want to change things up I will not be so intimidated...
