Neighboring NY opens on the 21st of september, our season is closed until october 1ish or so...opening day isn't much good for taking birds, but it's a great way to air out the musty gear and put all that summer dog-training to some semblance of use. If lucky I might get to put a few little holes in some still-very-green leaves and hopefully mentally mark a few spots that need a walk-through later in the season. I probably won't take any birds then either, but what the hey (all New Englanders worth their salt know that the only huntable bird populations are in Maine).

I'll take the thick stuff, thankyouverymuch. There may not be any extra birds, but it keeps the riff-raff out--I tend to be a bit anti-social in my fall pursuits.
