Hey Mac, no they are stocked birds, I am in a hunting club, we have a huge farm that is hunted by 20 guys, we also have three other properties. Pressure is low and the cover is heavy. There is plenty of hold over birds all week long. After they are on the ground a day or two you'd think they were in South Dakota. I hunt sometimes on the stocking days, mostly for the commraderie with friends etc. But when I want to HUNT I go on tuesday or later in week and hunt, then I find some wiley rascals and my pups really get tested. Usually even on a stocking day less than half the members show up to hunt, which works good for me ;D
