I doubt any game farm has birds left. I know most breeders are just hatching chicks now. If you need birds reasonably soon, well if i'm not mistaken i think quail start to become available sometime in mid may? I would start looking in that direction.
First week to maybe a couple weeks they will stock properties twice a week. All of the 2pm clousure areas while it is still in effect will get stocked after 2pm. The last week they stock birds is the week after the gun deer season. My personal opinion is that the big properties that get a lot of...

This seems to be a good tool for me. Obviously the more birds stocked the better chance. I usually go mid week to the properties that get a lot of birds stocked. The small properties I hit on the weekends. Also i'm not sure about Dunn county but...

glad to hear there are still some wild birds around in the state! Your lucky to live where you do! It's on my bucket list to kill my first wild bird here in wisconsin. Congrats to your daughter! I know i was hooked after my first bird.
yes one bird. I'm hoping to go a couple of days. I see the other thread now. I usually just look under the Wisconsin Tab. Thanks for pointing it out. I read over it. It seems as though every opening weekend ends up being the same.... BB's flying every direction.
I was away for training this past weekend for the military. I missed the opener unfortunately. However if anyone would like to share some dog/birds pics I would love to see them!! I hope to have time later this week to make it out and hopefully find a bird or two. Hope everyone limited out this...
