My father-in-law ended switching up the weekends he came from WA (the week before the tourney) so we didn't participate in it. We were successful though in our ventures.
Since I live in Mt Home there is a great spot where you can walk for miles around in terrain that is open and was very active in early APR and MAY. We took down so many I don't think we really made a dent in the overall population of them because we went for three straight days and they kept coming out of the same spots - it was like clockwork and we must have gotten about 20 each every day!
My father-in-law came back again in June and we were not quite as successful the second go around in the same area. The problem was that by this time the grass had grown so tall that it was nearly impossible to see them through it. We could hear there distinctive calls but the grass provided great cover for them. We were able to get some but not nearly the numbers we did previously. He was able to get himself a badger so it wasn't a wasted trip but all in all in the early spring months is definitely the prime time.
I told my father-in-law that the next year he should take off a week and we can hit them hard in early APR when they are out in full force and the grass isn't as high as it was a month ago.
