There’s a lot of truth in that but from my perspective. I don’t give a hoots like I used to. Burnout, lack of birds in places I hunted or shear numbers of hunters hitting the woods. I’ve pretty much retired. lol. Don’t kill a bird last year and for the first time my wife didn’t get bitched out. 😂 i pretty much killed limits every year since 94 until recent years. I just don’t get tore up.

I have no incentive to lie and I cover way more ground almost daily than anyone here except a few maybe. I talked to a lot guys that hunt and many are flat out killers. They ain’t gonna lie to me about it cause they’re seeing the same thing I’m seeing.

Like I said. Past few years appear to have been some good hatches. Last year I was worried but it appears we had a late hatch that produced good numbers

This doesn’t mean there are properties not seeing an overall downswing but enough are that there plenty of talk

Your mileage may very
