Breeding is well under way!

Two mornings in a row now I have witnessed breeding. Hens still seem flocked to some extent, but have watched some boss birds do their thing.

Yep its full on here.

 

[LA man]

i have 25 hens around here almost everyday and have yet to see/hear a gobbler

I got groups of 2 and 3 hens running around in Alabama with a few singles here and there. It is time boys and girls.

Right on schedule if not a little late for breeding to be in full swing.

Usually during Grouse season we start hearing birds gobbling around mid February, and we didn't hear the first gobble for the first time in almost 10 years this Grouse season. Strange, and doesn't mean jack, but it is something to note.

Hopefully they'll finish up with those hen's before season hits!

I believe its right on time as usual too. Haven't heard the gobbling like I have in the past either, I thought that was strange too. The birds just went straight from their big groups to breeding it seemed.
