Doves are piling up here now. Two nights in low '30s. Wish I could see well enough to hunt them. But my buddy shot some yesterday as they flew from my mid-grass prairie restoration plot to wheat stubble. Plot is full of Maximillian sunflower and other native forbs reaching maturity now so they might be feeding there also. Good news is he saw 16 sharptails doing the same thing. I think I also have gray partridge and pheasants using the plot. Good luck in the Sandhills!

Canvasback I feel your border closure woes. Looks like we won't be able to go to our cabin in the Interlake of Manitoba for grouse and woodcock. Been going up there for 53 years, but didn't buy the cabin till 1971.
