Ask Boot's buddy 3200 about it. He's got it all figured out.

Its all based on the nuts.

Fuckin nuts!

From what I've gathered through incoherent ramblings. Droughts have nothing to do with a lack of precipitation. It's the nut trees.

Very interesting. Last I knew western KS and eastern CO has very few trees, of which none or few are nut trees. Please ask him what has been causing drought in these areas.

Pre drought pheasant hunting in 2009, not as good as 2010 though.

That's a lot of cock

Not the first time I've heard that!


Was 76 birds, 2010 was 83, 2011 was 19, 2012 was 5, and last year was 2 birds. All was the same group on the same land, drought sucks.

How many hunters?

22, all the older experienced hunters stayed back and let the youngsters and newbys shoot. Nothing better than a group of 10-12 year olds surrounding a thicket with 200 birds come busting out.

That's awesome. I've never seen that many wild birds.

[jarbo03]

In the good years, we would see 1000 birds a trip, hope to see those days again.

You start seeing those numbers again, and I'm hiring you and Taz to be my guide.

And the last thing I said was "Andre don't climb the fucking tree, it's not that big of a deal to get that limb down"

It appears you have total control of your crew.

Make a trip when birds come back. 100% wild, no food plots or anything. Seeing 1000 birds doesn't mean you'll get a lot of good shots.

They make you feel like you've earned it. Still hopelessly optimistic about this year. Had some much needed rains over last 2 weeks, might have come too late though, we are in peak hatch as of last week. What survives should have a better chance of surviving the summer.

Yea, if the nests are destroyed, they will continue trying to nest. Last 3 years have seen many birds without color when season opened. The later the hatch, the less chance of survival, if winter comes early the young birds don't survive. Once a pheasant have chicks, they won't renest, which is my worries for this year. Bobwhites will continue nesting, they have done better the last couple years.

The early 90s was a dark time for ball caps

I'll go even further back, a little over 40 years or so. Overalls were quite the fashion.

Almost all the shrimpers wear those white rubber boots. Around here we call them Rockport Ropers. They are cooler in the summer than black rubber boots. It doesn't get real cold in the winter so some guys wear them for duck hunting, sort of an individual fashion statement.

Garrett's dad has a shrimp boat so he has several pairs.
