Take good care of those birds you found. Maybe one of the imported tree scourges will knock back growth enough to bring back the grouse. Hey, we can always hope.

My office this AM. Remnants of an old chimney from a halfway house which burned down in about 1930. It's about 100 yards from my cabin. 30 degrees this AM. The birds chose to not get out of bed. Sorry about the rotation

Harry and I could not get into our favorite WMA this weekend between water and downed trees. The birds are pretty educated too. My brother went out at Dad's place and did not hear anything.

John, that's a neat old building remnant. Looks like a great place to explore.
I got up at 2:30 am to drive an hour to where I know there are at least 6 Toms that hang out together. I had planned an in-the-dark sneak across a large field and through a wet bottom so that I could take advantage of their movement patterns...and so that I would not flush any hens on my way in. Just as I was leaving the truck the heavens opened up and it rained hard and steady. Back home by 5:30. Will try tomorrow, but rain is predicted again. That's turkey hunting for you!

Turkeys have been really quiet since season opened on the 22nd. Not much gobbling on the roost and it gets quiet shortly after leaving the tree. I have not even been hearing the occasional bird that gets lonesome in the afternoon.
