Spent the weekend Chasing Rooster with 12 of my best buddies. Shooters ( Robert, Mark, Steve, Jeff, John and Myself) and the better halves the dogs ( Tucker, Guss, Okie, Dalton, Dodger and Bojie) We had to work very hard to get our limit. Birds were very spooky on Sat. the snow started falling and the birds moved out into the middle of the field and were impossible to get close to. We found only a few birds in the heavy cover…..they ( the birds ) were content standing around in the open picking at beans and corn making it very hard to get close to them. We managed to trick a few of them it to fly past our posters on Sat and we found just enough in the heavy cover to get our 6 man limit. We drove around in the evening and found birds out and about feeding until it was almost dark.
Sunday was different story with the 3-4 inches of fresh snow the birds were in the middle of the fields in the morning but moved into the heavy cover after they feed……and boy they held tight. Dogs caught 3 of our limit on Sunday and they were roosters…..usually the dogs catch a few hens but rarely roosters…. on this day 3 roosters and one hen caught by the dogs.. good thing Dodger caught the hen…..he has a very vary soft mouth and we released her what appeared to be unharmed…..
All in all it was a great weekend. The posters froze their 
off, while the walkers were dripping with sweat in the crusty snow conditions.
Get out there plenty of bird around yet.
