Finally get a chance to get out there today! Been so busy with kids activities, school, etc. Going to be in the low 40s today, and with all the melting, hopefully we can find some in the grass. Roads look really slick right now, so we’ll get out there when those conditions improve. Should be a...

Amen, gim! Nothing like exploring new spots and trying new areas!

I went out this morning and part of the afternoon today in west central MN before heading home, and three of us each got one bird apiece, although with some better shooting, we would have had our limits.

2 weeks to go - we’re almost there

Thanks! I hadn’t read as closely as I should have!

Just curious if anyone knows the guidelines and parameters that they use for the August Roadside Survey? Just wondering if anyone knows exactly how the Roadside Survey operates. Thanks!
