    The season in 346 started out with the weather being a factor to our hunt, what else can you expect from MN?! Monday morning was cold, windy, and rainy. We heard several birds, but were not presented with any oppurtunities. The next couple days proved to be difficult to pull the birds out of the sidehills. The topside of the bluff we were hunting was a clear cut and has always provided alot of action. Finally on Wednesday, one guy in our group managed to get a bird to commit. The bird actually came out of the sidehills and walked within 5 feet of where he had parked his truck. He watched the bird come in hot and was able to put it down.

    Thursday came around and finally at 11 am I was able to get a big guy to commit and came in and was put down at 10 yards!!

    Both birds were 21 lbs, one with 10″ beard, another with a 10.5″ beard. Spurs both 1 1/8″. Overall we went 2/4 but had a great time!! Now it is off to Nebraska tomorrow for some Merriams!!

    Thanks Guys!! Hopefully the weather cooperates this week down there, sounds like 30s to start the week so that should make things interesting. Good luck Jay, let me know how you and Stacey do. Give me a hollar anytime your down, I can take you out and get you on some fish if it’s this spring sometime.

    Congrats to both of you on your toms! Were they both gun kills? 10 yards had to be pretty exciting!

    Good luck in Nebraska!

    Both were gun kills, looking back at the situation now I wish I would have brought the string and stick with!! Pretty exciting having him come in that close while he was hot! 346 has proven to be very successful for me for the past 10 years or so. It is a beautiful area, the bluff hunting is fun!!!
