Our season opened Monday and it’s been a tough first week. Started off really cold and rainy the last few days have been nice but the birds are going silent after fly down.
Tuesday I managed to get lucky and had one with three hens pitch down and work their way in. Was a big bird 1 3/8 spur on one side the other side was broken off but had a nice thick 11” beard as well. Wish I had a scale with me bird felt heavy guessing 24-25 lb range.
