Out at the farm again this week and it is amazing how many more birds i am seeing this week than last week. Seems like roosters are all bunched up at the south end of farm and hens are in groups of 10-20 at the north end. Some intermingled of course too and reports are coming in of roosters being found dead on road as they are getting to their "stupid" time of mating season.

Hard to tell if there is much crowing yet or not as there are still so many geese flying over all the time you can't hear anything over them.

Looking out the window now and drinking coffee. Here comes a rooty walking in the food plot I mowed off last night. Lots of food on the ground for them now.
 
I'm ready. Have heard good reports from my farmer. Many birds from another fairly mild winter. I am a little concerned about the moisture situation. Still pretty dry in the south central. I guess the next couple of months will tell the tale.

That report makes me want to be at my place bad...thanks for the report Chris. I normally would be out there this time of year. Just waiting for some nicer weather and open water.
 
It was 66 degrees when I left on Friday. All the sloughs are pretty much bone dry. A little more water on some of them from some snow melt. Could be worse.

Lots of nesting cover in them sloughs that wasn't there last year or year before.
