Shouldn't matter. The birds left our fields in Monaville before opening day. We had thousands of birds, and opening weekend was a bust. Unless this front yesterday blew in a bunch of birds I wouldn't expect too much.

if i just get out there and get to shoot a handful of times. its better than sitting at work. or just being out there watching the sun rise and set. but thanks for the info sorry yall had bad luck

You want dry weather wind or no wind. The cool fronts will push out the big numbers of birds but will also bring in new birds. Get there at sun up, look for early flight patterns and get in that flight zone. For whatever reason birds will fly the same patterns.
If it has been house with no rain the birds will hit the ponds in the evening. Birds will start working back into the fields in the afternoon around 3pm to 5pm. Good luck.
