Um, so do you feel like, do you feel, do you feel like birds are up overall or, Um, just at this point in the year, they're really young.

I think, I think birds are, birds are up, but just a little bit.

And I think it's, um, you know, we just, like I said, we had such a good hatch, um, that um the last two years we had really mild winters which i think everybody thought would be good for birds but i think it kind of hindered them a little bit because they were able to snow roost and get out of elements and stuff like that and then last year we had uh we had this record level of snow last year where i live and i had never seen as many healthy adult birds coming out of that winter into the summer as i have so i think you know healthy looking birds normally you can see them in the you know in the late or you know early spring late winter and they'll be looking a little rough Um, these birds this year just looked healthy as all could be.

And then, like I said, we had just this beautiful dry spring that allowed them to hatch chicks and have no problems and then got rain at the right time and got bugs at the right time.

And, um, you know, so I think that we might be up a little bit from last year, but it's probably 75, 25 young birds to, you know, two, three-year-old birds.

So

Right.

Um, it's one of those things where we also really prioritize the people that work with us and making grouse camp happen.
