Started scouting finally. Crossed one spot off the list... not enough sign for me to go back any time soon. I did hear a hen while walking in but just wasn't seeing the sign that I see in other places. And I think I saw a feeder too which is a no-no.
On the way there I completely missed a turn and went too far south... at least I did see a couple of birds in a field by the road, one a jake breaking into strut right at sunrise.
I ordered poster prints of the satellite map of the WMA that I made... I will really need it for scouting since I wasn't sure where else to look, so I stopped at one other random place covered in cow tracks and then headed back.
I did stop at a creek while scouting and found a few fossils and an arrowhead.
Got a feeling I might end up at last year's spot... just getting there earlier than everyone else and getting set up right by roosting birds. Only problem with last year's spot was a few other hunters that hunted there, but it never really caused any trouble.
