We get to start early---last weekend of March--and go all through April into May.  I am scheduled for surgery Feb 16th, so I am hoping the doc will clear me to climb mountains by the opener.  I sure love to hear those Merrim's hollering of a morning!

Excellent Tracy!! That is what I love about Kansas, you can kill two birds on the same day. No waiting a week to kill another one and not having to be limited to only killing one a day after the first week like here in MO.

Nice bird Todd!

Ryan and Todd, all you guys got to do is show up.
 
Yep, 2 birds in the spring and 4 in the fall you can't beat that. We always get shots from are tree stands but I do set up blinds also.
