I hunted yesterday for almost 2 hours and moved no birds. However my other buddy I hunted with wanted to be there at daylight and I believe that was a bad move. My reasoning is another friend hunted the exact same cover 3 hours later and moved 2 birds and took one. I think what I have learned even in a down year is the last remaining flight birds coming in are arriving tired and once they land they are loafing for a few hours before they start moving around and feeding. When it comes to any game bird it seems the the early bird doesn't always catch the worm.
Rain today, so I am done. Sophie I have determined should not hunt two days in a row. Every other day at age 8 is enough.
