Birds around Abilene were few and far between this weekend. Numbers were pretty decent on Wednesday. They are apparently headed south though, so be looking for them soon, Greg.

Greg, I live in the Houston area and have hunted the Katy area for many years, doves and water fowl. I think the lack of agriculture has destroyed what was an excellent hunting area. Those vast subdivisions are a poor substitute for rice and milo fields. Lots of fields I guided hunts in 35 years ago are gone to development.

I totally agree. Pine monoculture has done it to a lot of formerly good places around here.

You'd be sad. Marvin's is totally gone. Altair and Marvin's Blue Goose were the center of the goose hunting prairie back in the day. I go thru there on my way to Garwood once or twice a year if coming from the west, the corner is bare, trailers gone. Somebody in East Bernard told me a gas-n go type place was going to be built there

I am not big on "progress" either.
