Anyone out in the Glencoe area chasing roosters? Any birds around now that the crops are coming down? Just curious if people are seeing anything. Any corn left? Thanks.

Been hunting around the Grove city area and have been doing good plan on hitting the Hutch Glencoe area soon will post with my results

Corn is coming out very fast. I live 30 miles south of Hutch and we have some birds around and south of Glencoe does also. I have not been out for 2 weeks but plan on going next week.

I'll be down that way tommorrow hunting solo with the dog, I'll let ya know what we kick up!

Hunted SW of Glencoe, near Gaylord. No shots fired. Dog pointed a few hens, one rooster got up directly in the sun right away and got lucky I had to wait to get a good look at him. Still more crops than I was hoping for, at least right next to the WMAs I hit up. Hard to find birds when there is corn still standing. Missed a shot at a Mallard I snuck up on. Saw very little as far as ducks, seen a few geese in one field as well. Put on about 230 mile this morning/early afternoon, and prospects are bleak.

We saw quite a few around hutch monday and tuesday. Most of the corn is down around there now which helps. If you head west of the river there are a lot more birds but its so wet that they still cant get the beans out of a lot of fields. We got lucky and got permission to walk a drainage ditch west of montevideo yesterday and were done in 45 minuites. I jumped 2 roosters in one little spot and one of them was the toughest bird I have ever seen. It went down in some long grass and there were blood and feathers everywhere but he got up and ran. We did not have a dog but he was bleeding so bad we tracked him through the grass for over 30 yards with him brushng it on the grass every couple feet and still lost him. I've never had a bird bleed so bad that you could blood track him like a deer.

Was out are the Rosendale area today alot of corn up managed to get up some hens but no roosters alot of guys out in the area.

We hit a WMA SW of Glencoe and flushed 1 rooster. Dog got really birdy 2 more times. That was it. Still a lot of corn near the WMAs, a lot of hunters out where we were. Beautiful morning. Still slim pickins as far as I am concerned. Saw three breasted roosters in the WMA parking lot that had just been cleaned a day or so earlier. I would never clean birds there, but to each his own I guess. Didn't really sit well with me, don't have a strong reason why. All the wings were there, so it probably was not legal.

I hit a couple WMA's SW of town tuesday. The corn is coming out fast. Saw a couple roosters but they were smarter than I, got up way out of range. I also passed on a long shot on a young bird. Hopefully i can find some here at the end of the season. My lab just turned 1 and she is yet to make her first flush and retrieve. Im getting worried that she is going to become a house dog, if i cant put on some birds.

Tip my hat to the PF guys though. the land looked real good. Nice clean parking area and all. I picked up only a few shell casings, to do my part. I have picked up over 20 at a time before in other areas.
