Drought has really taken its toll..few birds still around.. mostly yearlings

SAD!

Hunting was tough this weekend. They had rain late this summer, so cover was good, but it was such a dry spring brood conditions were terrible. We scratched out a few birds, but numbers were as low or lower than last year.

What part of the state where you hunting?

NW. I talked to guys who hunted 20 miles north of us who found a few more birds. Just depends where the rain fell last spring.

I thought there were more birds than the last two years. We managed 6 out of the first field the first day but it got really slow after that. Seemed to me that there was only half as much WIHA as before and a bumper crop of hunters flogging the same little patches day after day.
