Thanks JW, I will definitely be on the lookout for that type of cover and to listen for the drumming as well. I was also going to scout along the gravel roads to see if I spot any birds getting some pebbels and marking those locations. From what I have been reading its some really tough hunting and not to expect a lot of birds. I am looking forward to the new experience and my GSP is trained to hunt pretty close to me so hopefully I can knock some down for her.
