Wow, had to go all the way to page 4 just to find this thread. How's everybody doin so far? My season doesn't start until this coming thursday in RI and I'm psyched. Unfortunately, the couple of private spots I can hunt in RI don't seem to have alot going on, but I did locate some birds on public land though... I just got off the phone with a landowner in CT who says he's got a bunch of birds on his farm this year. That season starts May 3rd or there abouts... That looks promising. Gotta tick-proof my gear and get ready!
