Is the drought causing grumpiness in the west? Lack of birds out here is keeping me home and my wife has stuff for me to do. The dogs are sparring more. Evidently the south has good bird hunting, cause jOe hasnt been normal lately. What's goin on?

PBS keeps running the Dust Bowl series......and with all the ponds and lakes low or dry it's disconcerting.
Dodging lions and wasting time.....

robc, Never say never, but it's looking pretty skimpy in SoCal. I haven't hunted Coachella, so I don't know about the local area, it could be ok, since there's irrigation year round. Some of the hunters on the Calif Predators Club forum have run into good sized coveys and had good days, others...nothing. From my reference book on quail, The California Quail, A. Starker Leopold, rain makes for reproductive tendencies in quail. No rain, no woody. But, maybe irrigation is like a dirty magazine...simulates to stimulate.

It is so dry in NE Georgia that the creeks are dried up and not running! Bobby
