From Davenport, IA. Hunt public ground in Scott & Clinton county as well as private property, and hunt private property in Spink county, South Dakota every year.
You had snow cover for roughly 30 days and then it all melts...they were out in the open fields feeding. 60 degrees out, they had no reason to be in the cover. They were HUNGRY!

I used to hunt near Goose Lake. I live in Davenport. Are their still good bird numbers near Goose Lake or is it the same now as the rest of the state?
