Birds have lockjaw this week

Post by Iluv2hunt » Thu Mar 13, 2014 12:22 pm

Been in the woods 4 mornings and one midday so far in the last week. 2 days of youth weekend, yesterday and this morning. I haven't heard a bird stretch his vocal cords yet. I heard one gobble Tuesday at 11:30 that was so far off I couldn't even tell where it was. Not sure what is going on. Beginning to worry a bit for what to do Saturday morning

Too bad you can't hunt the Toll Road 417...the birds are all over the ditches just outside Medical City. I am hearing the birds are going crazy down on 192 east of St Cloud.

I'll be at Prairie Lakes Saturday. I hope they're going wild.

They were gobblin at Three Lakes Saturday morn. Not crazy but enough to know they were there and closing. Was right by where you will be Saturday. That was first in the morning Saturday..Wednesday before I saw them by the Lake gobblin when the airboat would crank up.

They were working it on Blanding today. I saw about 14 hens and 4 gobblers about 50 yrds from them putting on a show around 10:30 this morning.

My buddy can't come up, so I am going to have a lot of ground to cover by myself to strike a bird. I got a feeling it will be a mid afternoon. Unless a suicidal 2 year old wants to kamikaze himself early

None of the birds at our place were sounding off this weekend, including the one I killed and the one that busted my buddy Sunday morning. Both came in quite but on a straight line to the decoys.

We had birds sounding off in every direction. Got 2 out of 4 to us.

They all lit up as soon as they hit the ground at about 715a
