Mike,

Great hunt and a great mount if you kill a boomer later in the season. It is a tradeoff. The experience and the mountable bird maybe be a few months apart. During Sept/October the hunting can be good with multiple flushes over dogs. In late season, when the big boomers develop their telltale "horn feathers" they are bunched up and can be difficult to hunt in a walkup situation.

Best!
