I hear ya Fife! I usually feed the deer and turkeys throught the winter after bowseason is over and up until about mid march or so, and they will stay around till the hens start to nest, and then its off to the neighbors hayfields, and I cant find a bird on our entire place, Im working to make enough food plots and nesting areas so that maybe they will stay through the season.

Soooo... If youo were to pull the tail feathers out of a hen.... would that make you a ...mother plucker?!!![:-]
