Title: Who is starting when?
Post by: MDbowman on March 18, 2017, 11:01:44 AM

I know a couple of guys are migrating South to get a jump on our MD season, when and where is everyone starting?

Seeing a few dead bird pics starting to show up.

I will likely be waiting until we open on April 18th, have a remote chance at an early start in VA but a lot of stars have to line up for that one.

30 days left for me, as always headed to Missouri for the opener. Loaded up some 20ga TSS #9 shot. Have not been able to pattern the new gun w it though. Did run some of the #7 Federal Heviewights through it, came up w 170ish in the 10@40.

Kicked around running to Tenn for a 3 day hunt, uncle has 1800 acres in Wilson Co. Hunted it several years ago, me and the old man cleaned up down there.

Got the itch to try something new, headed to Georgia for a 3 day license starting 3/28... If nothing else, I think I'll be able to learn something.   Hard to believe its only 10 days away.

April 8th for me here in NC, can't get here soon enough.
These single-digit wind chill temps with rain and sleet this past week have just about done me in, I am so ready for some warmer weather boys !!

Always hard to lose a hunting spot, gotta be extra tough when you have the family tie.
