Then I saw 2 toms feeding in a small field in the evening closer to home, didn't seem at all interested in feeding, cold and snow flurries. Also saw a grouse.

Season opens in 9 days.

Pulling out yesterday there were 2 jakes strutting behind a hen inside the airport fence, safe from predators in there. I pulled over and made a couple lousy yelps without a call and they were gobbling back.
