The feathers are terrible with these prairie grouse, very similar to doves...
The only thing that makes them a little bit better than doves is the feathers aren't as small...

Yes sir. I'm sure she is, she has put up with me and my camera for 5 years... Hopefully we get a chance to better ourselves tomorrow...

I had two places to hunt this morning, and I think I picked the wrong one.
Three Gadwall.

It was a 24 degree boat ride, seemed chili...

You planning on snow tonight?
I'm not sure but I think you're hunting west of me about a long long way.
I suspect that you see a better picture of a migration than me. I'm too far east.
Care to compare?
Over here it's weak. Just beginning to move.
I suspect just a little snow won't trigger much but a 6 inch or better event will for sure.

Weather man says we'll get a dusting this afternoon... 100% chance of rain but accumulation of just a quarter inch...

I live 9 miles from the Oklahoma border as as the crow flies... Usually hunt public within a hundred miles of the house..

I would describe our migration as a trickle all the time??? At least I like to think it that way it keeps me going, ducks are like Easter eggs out there you got to go find them...
Cold northwest wind for a couple days and we'll have birds...

Might as well go all in: that mallard is a "canard Francais" or "French duck".

There were two different groups of Mallards yesterday.. After I got done today I went checked on the other group and they weren't there.... They have moved on me, I'll have to find them....

[5 stand]

I forgot to mention, Trigger and I lost a Green head yesterday... There were some holes (cavity) in the bank under this big tree, and I think it might have been in one of those holes... We were also next to big water with plenty of ripples....

[Rick]

Guessing it wasn't a first...or last. When folks brag on dogs that never lose a bird, I figure they simply haven't dropped many or are hunting in a park.
