Well, birds are few and far in between up here in Porter co...only 39 spring birds were taken last season...I have taken 3 birds off the place in previous seasons however.... This season I heard and seen zilch while in the blind...did have tracks and pics of 4 birds in late March, then zilch, except for a few sets of tracks during season....I'm pulling the cameras and blind this week and I'll see if any are on pics....the southern portion of the state has it good for birds, you guys are lucky....The only mature Tom I saw was at 30 yds when I went for a run in the Nat. Lakeshore.... figures .....
