Yes I remember it being just as dry and birdless as it is now. This is not a phenomenon. It's a cycle that mother nature goes through. It's happening now and will happen again.
Go buy yourself 8 quail and 3 pheasants. Go to a public hunting area close by and place the birds. Take your dog and go hunt them up. If you want to eat and shoot birds this is much cheaper than spending gobs of gas money, wear and tear on your vehicle, motel fee, eating out at a diner, not to mention the time spent packing and unpacking gear and still even in a good year come home with MAYBE 4-6 phez and a couple of quail each.
Killing birds. I know its not fun to hunt and not come home with anything, but the older I get the less I even want to shoot a damn bird. I gave up deer hunting because I felt sorry for the dumb SOB's. Get out of truck, sit by winter wheat feild, deer walks out, shoot it. That's not even remotely fun.
The cheapest and best way to hunt has always been on a game preserve. If your into killing birds this is the way to go.
