Tail Length

Oh boy… Never fails that once a year we have to pull back the curtain and talk about the SD stocking programs and where A5 and golden hour really get their birds…😂

Unfortunately, Kristi tells the truck driver to only release the ones with shorter tails at my spots though. I've never broken 25".😪

Have you seen what Ace does to feathers?? How do you know you didn't start out at 32"?

I'm pretty sure my longest feathers were shot off or Honey pulled them as retribution for taking all "her" birds.

Touché.

Ace & I followed the truck just about right yesterday.

I stick to the jcw, broweye, pheasants & a lab videos mostly. And coots don't fly at night. I was clicking through random ones the other day. Oooof, that can be tough. Here's examples

1. Guy is clearly hunting at a manicured pheasant ranch in SD. No good.

2. Some family name outdoors. Guys trying to sell hats and t shirts to start, then they're marching with like 5 guys and talking.

3. A guy has a pointer and there's almost constant narration. A little explanation here or there is great. But when it turns into play by play color commentary I can't watch.

All those videos I watched 60 seconds or less.

Thumbs down on manicured ranches.
 
Looks at that photo above! Exhibit A! No feet showing!

Also note the photographic angle of the beaks. That one on the right looks especially bulbous.

Here. Same 3 roosters. Feel free to count toes. 😆 Ope. Also, that's my '68 18 horse Evinrude in the corner. ❤️
