seems the ole PA boys are still flocked up around here....i noticed it....and so did a farmer i talked to.....he knows the whole township....farms for a living..and farms most of the land in that part of the township.....i was trying to get pointed onto some birds....hes great at pointing me on game....hes always out n about farming...checking the cows in one of the many barns ect....so he knows where everything hangs out......we were taking and he brought up the fact that he is seeing them all in groups still......not the usual maybe a pair or triple of birds.....full flocks......bachler groups of toms ect.....i find this odd.....its been pretty warm this year.....season starts in just over 2 weeks.....normally they are down eachothers throats chasing eachother by now.....theres ALOT of birds all over.....id figure it would be more important to fight..break up...establish pecking order ect with so many birds........thats ok....he pointed me in a direction he sees 6 LONG beards grouped up....and they all wonder around all day together.....should make for an exciting hunt....i bet they try racing eachother to me......he also pointed me in another area we know theres birds.....both areas should have no hunters...or verrrry few...which is not the case in most areas around here....them birds feed in the fields....guys see them..try to hunt them....so alot of birds are hit hard....but not the 2 areas he sent me too.....they are hidden well and overlooked.......cant wait.......but why are they still flocked up?? how will it effect my hunting? do my tactics need to change?? thanx
