Opener on Saturday 12 noon. Public Land.
Missed 1st rooster at 12:02, got 1st rooster of the year at 12:04.
Up to 4 roosters so far, looks to be a fair number of birds and an increased number of hunters so far.
Many state grounds in my area had corn planted and it is just started to be picked. I noticed that 1/2 of the CRP fields have little cover this year. Could be a rough year for the birds if we get more than normal snow cover.
