There are barely birds in MO right now. Neb. is seeing a very little trickle, IA is empty, Ill has some birds. Is this the only time you could make it out? I’ve been on whitey since they opened the spring season and I’ve never went west this early. We usually are in MO right now but I’m still in MN and half of MO has snow and just about the whole state has ice. Temps are supposed to be in the mid 40’s plus next week, but we all know it takes more than that to melt ice. The fields will be clean of snow which may make them move north.
Advice: Stay home for about 2-3 weeks or go south.
