But as they are further out, I am hitting them with louder, longer notes, trying to keep their attention. As they get a bit closer, I am going to soften it up, put a little more growl into it. Give them that...calls...give them the softer stuff as they get closer, but not go quiet.

We are going to need some pretty dumb ones to come into this.

Concealment is the key. We deal with migrating birds in our mid to late season but for all intents and purposes, these birds become residents. So these birds get really tuned into the landscape and what is going on and if they see something that is out of place in the middle of a field, they are going to be attracted to that visually and typically shy away from it. Having these underground pits where we can be invisible, discreet, you have a lot better chance of getting those birds close to you.

And with the numbers of birds that we have, we are going to have some really good hunting through the rest of the year, we just have to do our homework, go where the birds are concentrated and do the work every day.

A big 500 acre field of grass. This is where birds will come in and stage a lot of times before they actually go out and feed. But a lot of times they go out and feed on this grass itself. So there is a lot of traffic in here and I am real optimistic we are going to get a lot of birds in here.
