We SC boys will start on private land on 3/20 and public opens 4/1 and they run to 5/5. I hunt various environments but the majority of my hunting is on agriculture land. I do hunt some swamp, some river bottom, acorn ridges, and pine plantations as well. I would guess the farm that the majority of my birds come from average in size of 18 lbs, 10" beards, and 1" spurs. We do not have to worry much about ice or snow and the soil is good dirt so it does not wear them down. Most of the birds off the farm have straight spurs, though I have killed a few with curved spurs.
We are under two months and I am ready to hit the ground running. Hoping to hunt the last weekend of waterfowl this coming weekend and then will be killing time until spring. Got to roll a few shells but I am ready to get going!
