take a guess 2010 upland

[GoldTip]

Hate to say it cuz it will be tough for the upland birds, but if we don't get some fairly serious rain in May and June, it will be dry, dry, dry this summer and fall and the woods may be on fire or on shut down come hunting season.

I have a pair of quail that have been hanging out under the bird feeder cleaning up what the squirrels spill and they were doin the "naughty" yesterday!

Pheasants have been chasing each other around for weeks, weather has been good and they are starting to lay pretty good. I got 18 eggs yesterday and 22 today. Quail should start laying in a week or two and the incubators will be full. I can tell it will be a great year where ever I go  . Plan on hatching 400 or so chukar and about that many pheasants. I have not decided on the number of quail just yet but ought to be a couple hundred anyhow. Dog ought to be tired by the time I am through the birds this year  . Either I will be a good shot or I will have added a few birds to the local population.
