Anyone counting down the days till May 1st ?

[Deerthug]

My wife is being induced on the 1st with #4 (1st boy)

I will always have an excuse to take my son hunting.

I might even get a morning sit in before we have to go to the hospital.

Congrats on number 4. I stopped at 2. Enjoy!

Still waiting on the bug suit. Been B. O. for 4 weeks now. Finally got an email today from Cabelas saying it's back in stock and being processed. Figured the bugs are gonna be bad as soon as the weather pops. Boy it's dry out in the fields right now, for this time of the year.

Water water everywhere. Ditches are running full. What a difference a week makes. Guess have to break out the waders again this year. Farmers have some field corn planted here already. Ground is very soggy again. Turning out just like last year according to my records. Anyways, 7 days and counting.

cant wait for the next few days to go by and get out in the woods, got everything ready to go. gonna do a bit of scouting this weekend and hopefully locate the roost trees. ive been doin a lot of scouting around home but have not had a chance to get up to the farm to look around. hopefully weather permits and i can get up there a few times before tuesday and figure out where i wanna be setting up

I can't wait not only to hunt bird, but use the afternoons to scout public land for deer season, go fishing in the late afternoons and bbq some backstrap, and chill with my buddies really. just a great weekend!

where was that snow?

[growalot]

Opener is suppose to be good ...fingers crossed...I'm amazed at the number of tracks I located in the snow EVERY where....singles...and some groups...the pic below I took this morning ...her loud cluck woke me...sleep with window open....she looked a bit tired and lonely...having a hard time walking in the heavy snow.......Lost some nests or perhaps a few birds...many tracks had fox tracks following and a few spots were tore up ...with feathers around ...think some of those had tracs moving away but at a distance...That's life...going to be difficult figuring out which areas to hunt...Sons working nights so he can go to one half and I the other...good Luck everyone...

Growalot.. where are you with all that snow???

[growalot]

In the Finger lake hills...lots of lakes around us so no matter what direction a storm comes in...it has water to pick up before reaching our hill top and dumping...lol...we're around 1900ft in elevation
