Seems like the guys up north bust 'em up good. Wondering what the difference is.

90 percent of birds taken on good conservation hunts are juveniles. All of the big outfitters in the midwest pray for juvies. The adults are the first to head back north, and they push hard along the freeze line. Once they are gone and just the juveniles are left, the hunting is best.
Like Scott said, if all of the factors align down here, it is possible to have good hunts, but those days are few and far between. The vast number of birds north of here increase chances greatly. Arkansas and Missouri in late Feb to mid March are the places to be.
