According to the forecast, bird populations are down slightly to moderately across the state with exception of a couple of areas.
But due to the abundance of water this year the birds may be more spread out, resulting in lower sightings during the survey.
I'm optimistic. Most wet winter/springs result in better hatches, or better hatch survival. But last winter brought an abundance of snow which may have resulted in winter mortality.
We'll see after next weekend. I've always found that I'm a pretty good judge of the hatch after 4-5 hunts and by the 21st, I'll have at least 5 hunts under my belt and get back to you.
