Everyone puts pics of turkeys, geese etc. Thought I'd share pic of a sharptail grouse.
I haven’t seen one or a prairie chicken in decades.

Sandbur, I see them all the time, have at least 3 nice coveys in the area. I had one covey in the windbreak 100 yds from camp all summer. I'd take wheeler thru and they'd explode into the air. I drive into camp and they are sitting on tractor or in the trees.

. I see more digging in my yard for grass this year than ever. I wonder if the wet fall created more nutritious grass. They are also digging in the alfalfa field. There are less apples in my trees up front and this may be part of the reason. Deer are coming in nightly from adjacent lands for the corn. Those deer might have more browse.

F'n Biden. (I bought two 2.5 gallon 41% Gly. jugs before going to OZ from Mills FF.....and I think I paid $69.00 ea.) You snooze....you loose. . Those were the last two on the shelves.....but they may have had more in the backroom?....dunno. Thought about buying more......but it may not pay to stockpile this stuff. Who knows?

I walked the corn plot today and found one ear of corn. They are hitting the crab apples hard.

Some of the deer have switched from the grass in my yard to the alfalfa field and I suspect some are on the rye cover crop about 1/2 mile to the north. There were still about a dozen in the corn plot. As the snow melts, I find an occasional ear of corn and a few kernels here and there.

Beet plot has turned into a swamp but the deer are still foraging. Drove up yesterday to take a look, about 50 on different sections of field.
This pic was taken 2 days earlier, big change with warm weather.

I noticed something interesting. The deer ignored soybeans when covered with 2 ft of snow and dug thru the same snow for the sugarbeets. Very few pics of deer on soybeans with snow cover. Now the deer are feeding heavily on the soybeans (snow melted) and on the sugarbeets. I can see at least 11 out on the soybeans.
