It happens here sometimes, like this year! They start just a little early, and sometimes it's about over by seasons end. They are usually with hens all day when our season starts and a little tuff to hunt (except those fired up 2yr olds!) I've already found 2 hens that were laying this year, it's opening week! Yes I think they will start breeding early, but it's not going to mess up your hunting!! I think if they lay early they can lay again in the summer, found a hen on a nest 2yrs ago full of eggs and it was July or August!! I posted the picks here on here!
