RE: Tough opening week in Washington State
I have yet to hear a bird gobble on the west side this season. I went out yesterday afternoon, and bumped a lone hen at 5pm. She was in the same spot by herself again this morning at 9am. I bumped a gobbler while leaving the truck in another spot. Then bumped 2 hens from a farmer' s field this evening that I never saw until they were airborn. These birds have got to start talking so I' ll quit scaring them. Oh well, I' ve seen 4 birds today. I' ve hunted the west side for 3 years now, and these are the 1st birds I' ve seen while hunting. It' s tough hunting these jungle birds when they don' t talk, especially for a Mississippi boy. It' s gotta get better. And yes Bigsmooth35, they gotta do something about the idiots. I know everywhere has them, but we' ve got way more than our fair share.
