Is it me or are the birds extremely jumpy when the weather is nice? I walk through the grass field that's full of birds and they are flying before I can even get close and it just gets frustrating. I try and post my wife where she can get some shooting but they rarely fly where I want them to. The farm I hunt sees hunters every weekend for the most part, should I be looking for somewhere else to hunt? I prefer hunting behind my dog and don't like driving the birds in big groups (just not as fun to me) and my wife likes hunting with the dog as well but can't keep up with us (especially this year, she's 5 months pregnant) so she ends up posting most of the time. The one day we had wind and a little snow we got 6 roosters and 1 sharptail otherwise when it's nice I struggle. What other tactics do people use to get close to the birds when the weather is nice? Also what do you do to keep your dog from taking out birds when they are holding, my dog took out 4 hens and a rooster 2 days ago when we were out? Fun hunt just don't like to see the loss of the hens.
