REAL Opening Results...

Hunted in SW MN . Had 11 guys with 3 labs. WE were on some pretty good private land and we had our 22 birds pretty quickly. Didn't see many hunters which surprised me. Sunday was tougher. Only 3 of us went out in the morning on some public land, shot 4 and missed two in a couple hours. Seems to be decent # of birds. So much corn in the fields still. Will be better later in the year.

No limit. The season runs from Sept. 1 - Jan.4 or any time they are about to do damage.

Kinda like crows, only crows have a designated season.

4 people 5 birds on Sat. Public land.

It'll only get better once the temps drop and the corn comes out.

A friend and I went out yesterday on some public land. My buddy's dog flushed 2 rooster about 15 min. into the hunt. One shot and a jammed gun, no birds in the bag. I guess that's why they call it hunting! Saw one other rooster and a handful of hens. A great day to be out.

1 hunter, 1 dog, 2 shells, 2 birds in 10 minutes this am. Way too easy. Next time i think i will try to shoot them with my eyes closed

You probably just jinxed yourself for the next time out!

My dog caught a rooster yesterday that I thought was a hen at first, until i looked closer. It had vague red patches around the eyes and a couple colorful feathers on its back. I dont even know if the thing could fly yet, it was the same size as a ruffed grouse or smaller and dident possess a tail feather longer than an inch.

My brother and i went out from 9 am to noon and seen a total of five roosters. We only shot three due to imature birds and unsafe shots. All in all it was a good opener for us even with all the corn in.
