Howler

You think waiting until the 11th is bad, my first crack at'em isn't going to be until the 16th, although archery only and youth season actually start tomorrow. BUT I talked to my buddy back in KS. last night, and the birds are still mostly in large winter flocks, although there is some fighting going on, and a few of the birds are beginning to break away from the big flocks.

Good luck on the scouting Friday. Hopefully you won't have any deep snow or bad weather by then.
