I couldn't agree more, never got to chase roosters in the snow once this year!

I have hunted the SW part of NE now for the last 13 years with great success. However, this year was down due to nesting success, in my opinion. I have seen the hunting pressure explode over the last 3 years, and yes, mostly "greenies". It is disappointing but there is nothing I can do about...

Nice hunt, glad you had some luck on the last outing!

only the crafty ones are left. That is what makes late season roosters so much fun! They do get creative this time of year! :cheers:

In our house two dogs does not go over well with the spouse. Therefore when my current dog starts to slow down (usually 8 to 10 yrs) then i start with a new puppy. The last time i did that my old dog (golden) lived to be 15!

Two dream rigs Here are two of my dream rigs! The Tundra is mine and I love the topper with side opening windows. The Chevy is a friend of ours.
