Here's an opportunity to get the Western Birds newsletter featuring 50 years of intense research, scouting, and discussions with the best bird scientists in the region to help your bird hunting in Southern California (and neighboring areas in Nevada and Arizona). Published since 1996, Western Birds has maps, GPS coordinates, and detailed written information on our best public land bird hunting areas in this region in each issue. This special offer will save you some money on a subscription and get you three back issues of your choice to help you find more birds this fall. Think about what a tank of gasoline costs to fill your rig? Or how much you spend on a few warm up clay target sessions at a sporting clays range before the season? For about the price of either of those things, we can help you find more birds this fall so you can focus on areas with more birds. Just call 909-887-3444 or text 909-553-0408 with your e-mail and I'll get you this special subscription offer right over to you -- along with the complete back issue list of Western Birds since 1996. You can also just e-mail [email protected].

Looks like the monsoons are over for now. But will they ruin the Southern California dove opener on Monday? I'm saying "no." And we're all still going to go anyway, right?

Dove Hunters: The number one cause of private landowners posting their agriculture fields? It's trash left behind by slob hunters. They eventually have enough of it and simply keep everyone out because of the few slobs.
