    Showed up at our field this afternoon at 3 and had about 150 or so in the field. Fairly certain they already fed. Should have been in the field at noon today. They didn’t stick around much. We also had some really high birds today.

    My theory is that the ones that were in my field left when everyone started cutting their corn and the deer hunters started piling corn in the woods. Very disappointing season so far.

    The rain has sprouted the corn that fell off the back of the combine. The fields that have historically held birds still have them from what I’ve seen, the others are hit or miss.

    Ours is definitely down. Went from an easy limit to having to really shoot well to limit yesterday.

    Strange weather, strange hunt yesterday.
    Heard the same from another in the midlands.
    Ran em out at 3pm and most never came back....many that did were high spooky birds.
    Was expecting 87 and partly cloudy (generally good shooting conditions) but go gray skies and light rain all day.

    We got a nice push of birds this weekend but I was stuck working on my HVAC unit.

    I didn't dove hunt but I drove a good bit of South Carolina this weekend. I drove past a few dove and cut fields in the Columbia area and didn't see many birds around. I passed by a cut field in Spartanburg County that had a good many birds in it.

    Drove by a field Saturday that had 50-60 on the powerlines at 1230ish. No telling how many in the field as both times I drove by birds were coming up out of the field and pitching down into it.
