My son and I went out the second weekend, we jumped 6 and got one. Last weekend while muzzleloader hunting we saw three ruffs that would have been easy to take but we were deer hunting. A friend that was hunting on Montie Cristo on opening day said he saw over twenty birds and he got his limit. I think for most of us the birds a few and far between with pockets where the birds did OK but all in all I think the numbers are down. In years past when the numbers are down, I don't hunt them more than once, so there will be a few left for next years, I know I won't hunt them again this year. Now the chuckers and huns are a different story, I'm going to get out there and give them a try very soon. Good luck if you go out again. WH2
