I had 4 different birds going the first day , May first . probably the best day I ever had . I had a nice one in to about 35 yards . he wouldn't come out from behind a blow down tree . I haven't seen or heard a bird since . the season ends May 31 . they usually will talk until mid season , or so . other than going silent earlier it was just a typical season for me . I lost track of the score , it was humiliating .
