First rooster of the year and the first to fall to the new Citori Featherweight. I've owned a lot of shotguns over the years and this is easily the finest...

The Wrecking Crew flushed a ton of birds. Part way into the morning I told Boogie (the black female looking up in front of me) to step up her game as she was a hundred or so birds behind Harley the upland machine (the yellow male that can't take his eyes off the bird). There were way more hens than I thought there were in the area. I would guess the flush ratio was 10-1, maybe even more. Lots of really young roosters too...
