@ben ji you cat ranchin’ this weekend chasing some ringnecks?
Absolutely, heading out Friday afternoon and off on Monday so I should get a solid 2.5 days of hunting in. Looks like the temps out at the cat ranch should be close to ideal with highs around 50.
Will be interesting to see where the birds are at (if there are any after the drought) since the last update from my dad was that the zero'd out Milo was still standing and hadn't been baled/grazed yet. Last opening weekend the highs got up into the 70's and I couldn't find a bird in the CRP to save my life, they were all in the fields still. When I came back later in the year and it was colder I could find them in the CRP again.
Our dryland Milo field was unharvested last year as well and I tried to hunt it a few times, nabbed a couple of birds but it was too large to effectively hunt with just 1 person and a dog.
