I've hunted a good while and have never walked or jumped a hen off her nest....I was thinking about it, when Bosstom mentioned about not seeing a nested hen...I believe the reason we don't see many hens setting is because they usually nest in the thickest mess the have access to(laurels, cutovers, blowdowns etc)...places we don't normally walk......

In our line of work, we must be able to play Dixie and the Battle Hym of the Republic, With Equal Enthusiasm.
