SW of Dodge, saw a few. Grass very thick, first year without dogs. If your walking grass, dogs are a must, lost almost 1/4 of what we shot, and we been doing this a long time. I shot one this a.m., one of those rare moments, just happen to be looking the right direction, saw the bird bust, shot the bird, smoked him, I though. NEVER took my eye off the spot, another guy also marked him, nothing.
IF we have a another mild winter with the right rainfall next summer, it will be back like it used to be. Saw a ton of hens, probably 10, 12 hen for every rooster.
We also had some youngsters this year and was able to get them some shots. The youngest, 13 shot his first. What a great moment.
Look forward to reading others reports.
