Redfield area this past week still had VERY immature birds...waited for a cackle on a couple before firing.

Since we just experienced a pretty bad winter, I thought about this question with nesting now opon us: Since we hear that roosters outcompete hens for the best winter nesting cover - shouldn't that mean the bulk of dead birds found after brutal winters or nasty storms are then always going to...

Re: snow depth. From a younger MN guy in great shape: approx. 8" has been the upper end of my comfort level the past few years. I'd almost rather have 3-4" over any other conditions. 10"+ and you're in for a day of sweat...but can still be done till about a foot. After that, bring...

I just sent 'em an e-mail with my input for the extension: reminded them Kansas' (and I think Nebraska) season goes till the end of Jan.
