Opener - Today

[gjw]

Hey all, well today was our pheasant opener. It was a poor one (at least for us). One of the poorest openers I've had in years. My son Jim and I each did get one (and Jim also got a grouse), so not all was lost! Saw few birds, plus the wind was really whipping today (22+ and gusts over 30). That didn't help. We saw 5 roosters total, no hens. But as I said the wind really affected everything. Going to try around the home place here tomorrow, so we'll see what happens.

Jim with his birds. He was using his 12ga Victor Sarasqueta 3EC



I used my 12b James Purdey

Until tomorrow!

Awesome! Hoping to be there week after next. Hopefully corn will be coming off soon! I consider two roosters and a grouse a good day!!

I think the corn is a long ways off, at least in my area. It was really green in my area (never seen it so green so late) anyone see more mature corn?
