Black Hills Hunters

[crenshawco]

I'm headed up there next Tuesday to hunt for a few days. How are the birds acting? Are they still grouped up or are the hens laying yet? Any reports would be appreciated.

I'm leaving Monday and would also like to know?

I'm heading out Tuesday to the far northern border of NE, but east of the real ridge country. Still interested in how the birds up there are acting, looks like the middle of the trip we'll all get wet. But the guys two weeks ago got a ton of snow, so I can't complain.

All of these black hills threads are making me extremely jealous haha. Only 307 more days until next season.

Hunted out there many times and never had a trip where I didn't get some rain or dare I say...SNOW  The 50-60% chance stuff is no worse than the 20-30% chance stuff. Simply I plan on having some bad days or partially bad weather days when I head out. My best info so far is about a week old and it sounds like there are.alot less hens being sighted. The flocks of 10-15 hens and 2-3 gobblers are over with according to my source who lives out there. I'm assuming that snow they got(which always melts off fast), was prior to most nesting? Nest sights were probably already staked out by bred hens who were leaving gobblers mid morning over 2wks ago and all they did was get wet when snow melted but it wouldn't have been enough to shell the best and send hen looking to remate/renest.
