Hunted Big Branch this morning and got shut down. I shot three times and brought home one hen grey. Very few birds in the area. Talked to the game warden on the way out, and he said he hadn't checked anyone with more than two birds. Depressing.

Mudflats or navigable waterways?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the info. I'll probably do some scouting....
Yeah its good place to fish if you use trotlines or jugs,....
