I usually don't start mowing fields this early but I have 7 fields to mow, and they are thick. Going to be a slow go, and the overheating issue. So much trash it's clogging my radiator screens. About every 45 minutes I have to stop and clean them.

They look ripe.

Should be a good season for you!

Looks good

Are you seeing any large numbers of birds?

I see little specks in the air, but I think he just needs to clean his windshield.

I'm starting to see groups of whitewings in the morning and evenings in Wharton County.

New License next week, truck inspected for another year and shot gun(s) cleaned/lubed; just need to load my gear and go! Always look forward to a New Season!

I wouldn't say large numbers but I am seeing birds. Once I get the fields mowed, more tend to show up. They're around, just scattered out.

Also, I'm mowing in the middle of the day. But I did have about 30 in my driveway this morning.

Nice and wide around the perimeters so folks can find their birds.

LOL...First view was , "Dang, his mower blew apart"! Looking forward to another great hunt!

Looking good John!

Only two fields left to shred, should be done by the end of the day Wednesday.

Looks perfect! Hope you guys crush it this year.

Maybe later on in the season I might do a day hunt if you get some availability.

I have lots of room after the first couple of weekends. I like hunting in October, lots of northern birds, cooler, less people.

I hate mowing sunflowers. I'm sick for a month afterword. Glad you got it done Sompy.

Been busy with other things the past couple of days. Still have a 60 acre and a 45 acre field to mow. Should be able to get that done in the next few days.

I'd be sick as a dog too, if I didn't have an air conditioned cab.

One field left, will mow it tomorrow. I'll be glad when it's done, it's been a pain. Radiator screen is getting clogged about every 45 minutes due to the trash off the sunflowers. Put my gas powered blower in the tractor and that's saving some time.
