The only ones I’ve seen where in stripped wheat stubble and they’ll be hard to get out. Probably OK if you have a good dog, but not a ton.

Still working on the good dog. High bred and you can tell but, only two years old and needing to actually get into birds consistently to get it all put together.

My guess is that if it does get good, it will be after the weather gets consistently cold, and all the standing milo is cut.
Even the waterfowl openers were meh, likely due to such a mild fall throughout the flyway.

Weather certainly hasn’t been helping. It was good and cold yesterday morning but, we got back to truck at one point in the afternoon and it was reading 75 degrees out. A nice cold spell and maybe even a light snow would be nice.
