[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5088272, member: 2805"] Another 5 this trip, same as before with very little fat in the breast sponge. All healthy as can be, but underweight from prior years. One had been previously shot before last year with lead 6s. Winter flocks broken up this week and many adult hens were on solo midday trips, I assume to their nests which had been initiated. I just can't figure these birds out... opening week they seemed to be behind schedule as far as breeding timing from past years, but this week seemed to be far ahead of schedule compared to past years. I even killed a field bird day before yesterday that I sat on for a long while that bred all his hens who then broke off to lay before he moved to the timber and gobbled 30 times to my call on the way in to me. Way more gobbling this year than in the past few years, making for a much more enjoyable hunting experience. [/QUOTE]
