Question...tomorrow morn ng I have the opportunity to sit in a stand over a bean field to do a little scouting. My question is, is it worth it? Are they moving in the mornings? I have been seeing tons at night but haven't been out at sunrise. I know most will say absolutely but with a wife who...

How about a saturday morning roll call, are you out this morning?
