if you are driving from far away, this may be a good season to stay home.
it's sure not all about shooting a limit everyday, no doubt about that......but when i drive that far and never get a shot all day long? And it is tough on a young dog when trying to get some reps and real bird contact as well.
i am not trying to discourage you, check the fall forecast when the numbers are released, (there may be some bright spots), but from what i saw/know this will likely be a dismal season. good luck and let us know how it goes.
