I'm right behind you in my thinking Dean! I'm already looking past the dove opener, and thinking about quail. There's something about that first flush that makes the wait worthwhile!

My dog is putting up big communal coveys of 1/2 size birds all over the farm. 20 to 30 in a group with their parents. This could be a fine fall season.

Thank goodness for the optimism of the future bird season. It will be especially sweet for many who have had challenges and sorrows to deal with during these past months. Elaine and I be missing two of our dogs when the season opens, but will have the memories of good times past to greet the promise of the new season.
I echo the comments above, and wish every hunter a good walk in good cover with a loyal dog and favorite gun.

Just spoke with my son. He saw two broods of grouse at work today; one of six and one of 5. Both were nearly full grown. To top that off my setter pointed a woodcock this morning. The juices are flowing!
Everyone will have a wonderful season. No hope about it. |

Glad to provide location data. You will be wasting your time though as the birds will be elsewhere by the time the season rolls around. And then, it is loose lips sink ships.
