Stan, I understand the glorious first for certain. I look forwards to that day like almost no other. We have had a excellent year weather wise but I fear our hatch will be lower than expected. It seems many of the Dove we sent south for the winter never returned. Would you know anything about that issue?

Feed plots are running late. Sunflowers are a bit late. Been mowing strips of wheat to start building up the bird numbers. By now I would be ready to mow a bit of sunflowers but this year that will be two more weeks at the earliest. Corn will be very late this year so birds should stay concentrated better than most years.
