CP:
Anyone else seeing a lot of dead birds in their pre-season scouting?  I have.  Maybe it’s just highly competent coyotes, but I’m wondering if this is going to be a significant problem again this year.

Just the thieving kind around my place. Prolly start to see waterfowl dead about 0651 Saturday.

MeepDog:
I was out last weekend in McNary and my dog came out of the cattails with a duck in his mouth. It was barely alive and likely sick.

He's a good boy, bringing me ducks I didn't even shoot.

Wow, refugee finding 500 dead birds a day!  Just the last thing we need especially after poor breeding survey reports in just the past few years.

Haven't seen any signs of it this season so far.  Not like the past two seasons where it was noticable.
