I can't remember the last opening day I didn't limit out. Hurricanes or not. I think it's becasue the last several years we've seen more and more doves that don't migrate and hang around here all year. Some of our fields have had several hundred birds on them for the last month and a half. Those doves arent going anywhere. There will be some migratory birds that will leave because of the weather, but we have enough "locals" around that we'll still smoke em. Providing it's dry enough to get in the fields of course.

Generally that's the case for us, but I was shocked last year that a friend's place that always kills birds over sunflowers had nearly a skunk opening weekend. We limited the next weekend and the rest of the season every weekend we hunted. They usually have 50-60 people limit easily all weekend on the opener but Lee screwed them up bad. When the sunflowers come up we usually will limit, it's when they don't grow well that things get tougher.
