I decided to try and get out to shoot a duck this afternoon, lots moving. A mile or so out of town, a friend of mine was getting out of his tractor, which had a 60 foot Miller disc behind it. He was tearing out a CRP. Stopped and visited, he said the contract wasn't renewed, and he wanted to get it broken before the snow, to capture some moisture. That's 960 acres of lost habitat, owned by a friendly farmer who never said no to a hunter asking permission. Thats going on all over. Sad to see, but few people pay attention to what happens in the Farm bills.
Went on to where I could glass my warm water slough, NO ducks...strange...Over to old home place, parked and Flash and I sneaked an old farm stead, full of roosters, managed to get one at two corners. Headed home, got annoyed with Flash when he started jumping around, finally paid attention...Several hundred geese in a baled feed field...Maybe go out there in the morning...Good day...Scary what the future may bring for outdoors folks...stay well..snowing now!
