I' ve had a great year, but I am lucky to have a couple thousand acres to hunt consisting of melon, seed corn, wheat etc etc. Not all of the fields produce, but I always find a few that hold a lot of birds. Worst part is the 2 and a half hour drive to get there. The state managed fields near my house haven' t held birds since the first two days of the season, and there is still a lot of good feed left in them.
