Its been a pretty mild winter so I figured the early season would be money this year. Not so sure about that now. Ended up with 10" fresh snow yesterday. It sure is beautiful this morning though.Thats tough hunting up there when spring comes late. I get the ZZ hunt for my area. Not as many birds these last couple years compared to recently. It took me til the last day of my hunt and a 5 hour cat n mouse game before I punched my tag last year. Good luck this year guys!
