Sloughs had a lot of snow blown in with a crust on top, they were running in there, A5 is right I’m sure it was because the crust made it very noisy and they could run on top of it. Been hunting there for 40 years and never had birds run like they were last week. Most roads were passible

There were plenty of birds, but I think because of the crusted snow they were unable to get under cover, running ahead and hardly any holding for the dogs. Also walking was very noisy

Just left there yesterday, probably about a foot plus in grass and sloughs with a crusted top. Not hard enough to hold the dogs, very hard on them and me

That’s what it’s all about. still remember my first bird 50 years ago

Hunted the Platte,Geddes, stickney area the past week. Been hunting the same area for 34 years, its unbeleivable how low the bird numbers are this year. Hopefully a light winter and great summer or not sure it will be able to recover for many years.

Nice! That's why I hunt, it's all about the dogs.

Just hunted the last 5 days in the aurora center area, bird numbers are the worst we have seen in the last 20 years. It is still great to be out, and the weather is beautifull

Any opening day reports? West Mi was very rainy but were able to move a done birds
