The best advice is don't skybust. Even if they make a few passes and you think you might knock one down, let them pass and finish up. If they leave, oh well, get them the next day. You will be hunting a lot of the same birds. If you shoot them barely in range and knock one out of a group, the rest will remember you
I totally agree with Mcnabb. Many hunters from my area say the birds are last season weary already. Take a look at Calcasieu Charters on youtube.com. Watch how close the get the birds. I won a hunt with them 2 years ago and it was awesome watching those birds come in the front door.
