I just hope the season is worthy of an exclamation point, considering for this area (Brazos and surrounding counties), 2015 and 2016 were as bad as it can be.
I have observed just enough mourning doves to be mildly optimistic, and the whitewing flights, though nothing like 3-4 yrs ago, are seen on a daily basis. Though the WW's often travel seemingly at 50-75 yds in altitude....adding an additional twist.
One of our very productive locations in the recent past is still almost void of birds, but another spot on a flyway to/from B-CS might be decent...except the mesquites have become so thick, my dog will be critical in finding any downed birds.
But hey, it's almost Sep 1st, time to rejoice, hunting season is upon us!
