With snow on the ground, what habitat do you typically head for to find birds?
With water frozen in sloughs now, I focus here. As much as I hate it, the birds usually hunker down in the cattails surrounding sloughs. Makes for difficult times though. Potentially unsafe ice for yourself and dog. Cattails seems to cut the heck out of the dogs...pokes us hunters in the eyes. Plus those cotton picken cattail heads explode when you bump them and that white crap drifts through the air sticking to your clothing so you can drag that back into your truck.But none-the-less, the birds are here and you better kill them instantly...those buggers can disappear if your dog isn't right on them when they fall.
Anyone have any success anywhere else like trees or CRP?
