To anyone that went to the Sandhills, how was the opener? Bird numbers, cover and the like.
Thanks
 
i have not been hunting yet, but I am going to guess the grouse populations will be way down. rural mail carrier survey says they are way below last year. RMCS has its issues, it is not pure science, but as a general trend for bird pops, it is a fairly good. This year it was very dry in the Sandhills, not good for grouse. I of course will still go hunting, always do, good or bad, but I expect to walk a lot more to get grouse. Even if I don't shoot a bird, I am always thrilled to be in the Sandhills in the fall, my favorite place on earth. Bring good boots and ibuprofen. Happy hunting.
