Opened Saturday. Went to a small field with a 12g SW M/F. Dogs put up 2, missed first one got second. Brush was still overgrown and birds just not flushing.
Went out this morning to one of the larger corn fields using a different SW 12g F/F. Got a hen and dogs put up several roosters but all too far to shoot (running the corn rows). Dogs proceeded to play tug a war with the hen and several limbs were removed in the process.
Tonight flushed several more roosters from the same rows shooting at 1 and winging it. Flew wobbly about 150yds across stubs crashing landing in another row with Mollie chasing in hot pursuit. She found it. Hit with my Parker 12g VH.
Short hunt tonight. Temps were 85deg.
