I think that it is easier in the first week. I hunt both private and public land, some will say that private birds (not pressured) are easier than public birds. I like to hunt public land birds, for me they are easier to call in, in my opinion. I don't know if it is all of the other hunters that go there are lousy callers, or I'm just a good caller.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>LOL Just kidding, but I have had better luck calling birds that have heard it all than birds who haven't.
