Look online at precipitation maps and avoid the areas that had a ton of rain in May/June/July. That is what we did and found more birds.

This website is a great tool. We found significantly more birds in areas with less rain during the hatch.

Yes, it seemed that bird numbers were down about 50% plus where we hunted second week of season.
