They are usually here and gone. I have hunted a good bit in Florida the past few seasons and you can kill as many as you'd like down there I'll echo the comments above, I love eating them! Gotta live up to the nickname...

That’s the beauty of photography, camera pics up a lot of the imperfections in the birds and you soon realize there is no normal. These shots were all taken on a fairly calm morning yet the amount of ruffled feathers shows how hard these birds fly.

It’s amazing how when they decide to migrate they go so far so fast. I know we have had BWT show up in Mexico shortly after they were banded in SD.
