    Good post Gut! I have a fall tag for MN and WI!

    Check out the beard on that 4th picture. And No Joel – you can’t hunt there.

    You bet G, they get gravel to help grind up some of the harder to digest mast and grains in their crop. Esp. when they’re on hard corn or acorns, they usually need to get gravel/grit almost daily to help grind their food.

    A hen with poults is about the most unpredictable group to cut-off in the fall. As you mentioned, there’s circling, falling apart then getting back together, along with the occasional 180 going right back to where they came from!
