Don't listen to the Gooser, Ed. He only talks a good game. He's been invited to my place several times, but weasels out every year, so I suspect his shooting is so poor he doesn't want to be embarrassed. (But what an oxymoron eh? Can anyone imagine the Gooser being embarrassed?)
I'm sure you have good grounds to hunt, with CRP or non-crop fields. It will be well into turkey-time before many of the corn fields are harvested. Some of the farmers are having trouble getting in to even cut the silage, and the beans in our area are in various stages of harvest, not that they hold any birds to speak of.
Most birds are in the flowers and corn, so those planning to make the trip later, should have better luck in the fields.
Mox Nix for me. Most of the birds in my bag come from road hunting. I'm just waitng for the sun to shine so they'll be where I usually find them...back on the roads...grinning.
Good luck. Watch out for the badger holes and skunks.;-)
