Dylan vs. The Forecast: A Dove Hunter’s Denial of Downpour

September 5, 2025

September 5, 2025 — As the skies grow darker and humidity thickens the air, most residents of Georgia are preparing for what meteorologists unanimously agree will be a full day of heavy rain. The Weather Channel, along with every major forecasting outlet, is calling for a 100% chance of rain tomorrow. Roads may flood. Fields may turn to mud. But one man isn’t buying any of it. His name is Dylan. He’s 24, deeply tanned from long days outdoors, and absolutely certain that tomorrow will bring nothing but “prime dove hunting weather.” “I don’t care what the radar says,” Dylan stated confidently from the tailgate of his pickup truck, which was already stocked with gear, coolers, and a shotgun resting in the back. “They’ve been wrong before, and they’ll be wrong again. It’s all hype. I looked outside—sky’s fine.” Dylan is what some might call a Weather Channel denier. He doesn’t trust meteorological models, Doppler radar, or satellite imagery. In his view, nature’s signs—like “how the cows are acting” or “whether the wind smells like rain”—carry more weight than any expert in a suit. “If you can’t smell the rain, it’s not coming,” Dylan explained, pointing to his nose. “And I can smell when it’s coming. Tomorrow? Nothing. Just birds.” Despite forecasts showing a strong low-pressure system moving in overnight, with rainfall expected to begin by sunrise and continue well into the evening, Dylan is unfazed. In fact, he’s inviting friends to join him on what he calls a “perfect opener for dove season.” “They’ll be flying like crazy right before the storm that’s never gonna happen,” he said. “I’m not missing it.” Locals are divided on Dylan’s confidence. Some admire his commitment to instinct. Others are already canceling weekend plans and covering their gardens in plastic sheeting. A nearby rancher, who wished to remain anonymous, said, “He’s got spirit, but I’d bring a poncho if I were him.” Whether Dylan will be proven right or end up soaking wet in a field of no-show doves remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: rain or shine, Dylan’s going hunting. “I’d rather be out there getting rained on than sitting at home watching the Weather Channel lie to me,” he said with a grin. Time will tell whether Dylan’s instincts can outmatch the models. But for now, he’s betting against the storm—and betting on birds.
