Looks like a nice mature bird Dave. Are you seeing good numbers? I had a rooster in the front yard yesterday, but we are out of bird hunting for at least another week, maybe more.

Brent, he was nice bird, streamlined type, but the tail feathers were just a touch over 23". I'm not seeing big bird numbers, just hunting them down one at a time. Saw a total of 5 roosters yesterday and one hen. Missed one longish, but makable shot on a bird, and the others were getting outa Dodge before we were close.
Edit to adjust the Iowa total to 3 roosters encountered. The other 2 and the hen were on the Minnesota side of the line. I often hunt both states on the same trip.

Hey all, My son Jim and I went out for a couple hours today, wasn't terribly successful. I managed one. We did see quite a few birds, almost all hens (we could have limit out in a half hour if you could shoot hens!). Not many boy birds. The ones we saw were pretty skittish. That time of the year I guess. Anyway, I used my 16ga Garbi 100  And Addie in the frost!  Not a bad day, especially hunting with my son. Best, Greg

Beautiful gun and a good looking dog too. I bet it was good to be in the field. Should have been a lot of pheasants shot in Iowa today with the first real snow (6" here). But we are in lock down for a while longer yet. I'm setting a week from Monday as our relaunch.

Limit of ducks with a damascus Husky 16 and 2.5" ITX reloads, in my layout boat. Good times.

Nice cloudy day today, temps in the low 50s. Great for dogs. We are finding birds. Floyd, Sadie and the MuttPak.
