I got out to Yuma County yesterday, hunting walk ins. I hit four different spots and managed to bag just one rooster, the only one I saw. The dog bumped a hen in that same field, and saw one other hen running through a sparse grass field as I was driving around. Saw no other birds driving around and only a few other hunters. That's about the same production as I got last year in one day of hunting, not much to write home about.
My wife and I went out Sat and the dog jumped 5 hens and we saw 1 other jump on the other side of a tree row. No roosters. On Sunday the wind drove us home after a morning hunt that we didn't see any birds but jumped a bunny and a huge jack rabbit. The two year old lab is turning out to be a good pheasant dog although sometimes he gets to far out. We'll be working on that this season. Bob

We went out on Sunday and witnessed the great tumbleweed migration! :laugh: We hit ~5 fields in and around Yuma. Basically nothing but jackrabbits and tumbleweed. By 3 o'clock we were looking for another field, and I told my buddy "You have probably never heard me say this before, but I could call it a day right now". He convinced me to stick it out till sunset ... should have called it a day at 3:00. :laugh:
It was fun, but would have been more fun with birds ...
Did manage to see one rooster standing in winter wheat as we were driving to a different area. That was the only excitement of the day. I could have been hallucinating.
Spoke to some locals in Wray - they all said that it was still dry through the spring.
Getting excited about heading to Montana at the end of the week. :cheers:

Yes, you were hallucinating. Check out the "Bittersweet "last" and a fantastic first" post.
Old tomt put up 28-29 rosters while you were wondering around seeing things.
Looks like you are heading there at the right time, sounds like some weather coming it! Good luck!:cheers:
