If that is true the big ducks are behind them, this little run of cold weather ought to get'em down here.
Vpbaseball#9 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 Its been the same on our property..... Had a few more good hunt after opening weekend... This split was very well need and the timing was perfect with this front pushing more birds down

bronco1 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Did a little weather map survey. The Dakotas are frozen, South Nebraska's highs will be below freezing starting Sunday 12/6 through Thursday 12/10. South Kansas high's will below freezing starting Monday 12/7 through Wednesday 12/9. I predict a good opener for the second half.

Gasilla Posted December 4, 2009 Report Posted December 4, 2009 We hunt the Western edge of Cameron Parish in Louisiana. It is marshland and our season has SUCKED! Opening day we killed 3 ducks! I have been on several hunts so far where I did not fire a shot (including today and yesterday). We had some ducks on Tuesday just ahead of this last front, but since it pushed through with the rain tuesday night, the few ducks we had are gone. I sure hope this next blast is pushing more ducks, we sure as heck need them.
roar! Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 the fact that there is a lot of fresh water available doesn't help either...

Teal Usually like your freshwater... Now the big duck dont mind the salt water as much..... I believe this may have a factor in why we are seeing so many teal in the China area
HJ-HECKLER Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 ok boys i know where the birds are they are at the highisland bridge in the marsh on both sides of the intercoastal waterway
