I guess I spend a little more time on the forums and research hunting a few states, but try not to get too worked up too early. We have too much snow this early and the birds that I'll likely hunt are too far unless we draw a limited tag for me to do any scouting. In addition, our birds will quickly disperse from where I'd find them now wintering. It's also too cold to be out patterning a shotgun. When I was in the Midwest, I'd already be out listening on all my days off but that would be about the extent of my scouting.
