Bounty Hunter 6 and I went to Iron County to look for early rising chizzlers on Tuesday. We figured some of the early risers would be coming out of their burrows right now. YES, I know it is still January. But it has been a mild winter more or less. Crap-O-Rama -- we had a nice drive up there, we discussed the various topics of the day i.e., Trump, the Super Bowl, and of course chizzlers. It was a nice sunny day with temperatures in the 40º's. We had real high hopes. We had brought our .22LR rifles just in case.
We saw no chizzlers. We saw no signs of chizzlers. The only thing that was compensating was the view of several bald eagles sitting in trees surrounding the alfalfa circular fields that looked extra hungry and in a bad mood. The two dozen or so crows standing around were waiting in the fields for the chizzlers right on the ground examining closely the mounds of dirt piled up by the chizzlers last fall. The crows were way anxious and they were on a significant diet of no chizzler meat at all.
All in all we were blanked out. The eagles were starving and the crows got what they deserved --nothing. We didn't even in case our rifles.
Check out photos of last year and what we hope for real soon. I will keep you all updated.
