Ace & I started off on public land, but didn't see much. It was early, so I decided to hit a few short stretches of ditch before worrying about which public ground to hit later in the day. That was all it took. Limit of ditch roosters. FWIW, I find "ditch chicken" & "ditch parrot" to be somewhat disrespectful to an adversary as worthy as a wild ringneck. I like to think people who use those terms are referring to the stupid flare nares (released on preserves) they see standing around in mown ditches, just waiting to be ground pounded. Not the same bird at all. Pheasants in name only. PINOs.
