If I had a place, I’d absolutely be headed there in the morning.

Jackson county is so flooded it’s hard to find more than a small group here or there right now, if you can even find anything. Today was terrible.

Its flip-flop weather. Ducks are still way north. There are pockets having good days, but migration isn't happening unless you are talking about ducks flying back north. I drove 1600 miles this weekend all up and down the MS flyway. The ducks are no where near the SE right now.

Saturday morning after Christmas, on the north side of the TN River where I65 crosses it. Ducks every where! Ground and sky. The GF about freaked out.

It would blow her mind how few ducks there are at the nearest public/huntable properties to there and just how stupid the people are who are hunting those few. Just like turkey hunters who can never seem to figure out how to get their prey killed (though way more concentrated in given locales), duck hunters suffer from the similar insanity of doing the exact same things over and over and expecting different results.

Yup! those are there because they have figured out they won't get shot at right there, its refuge and illegal to hunt until you get west of 72. The public land around there doesn't hold but a fraction of the percentage of birds on the refuge even in the parts that is closed Tues-Thurs!

To which the ducks' response is to get back to flapping the hell out of them wings and getting the hell out of there, most likely to never be seen again. Repeat when the next ones enter visible airspace (or maybe just some frustration sky-busting at a few about 200 yards in the air to go along with the chitty calling), never learning a damn thing from what just happened, nor do they care a lick about their fellow hunter they just screwed. I. HATE. THAT. FRIGGIN. PLACE!!!!!

Saturday afternoon on the Alabama River just north of Miller's Ferry was covered up. Too far away to tell what kind but more than I have seen in ages.

I drove 1600 miles this weekend all up and down the MS flyway. The ducks are no where near the SE right now. You got that right. Just got in from AR and it may have been fewest birds I’ve ever seen as a whole. We killed a few birds and seemed to be the only area that had birds around. I wonder how much longer hunters are gonna pay those lease prices.

We are staring down the barrel of 10 days of high 50's, low 60's. There ain't gonna be migration with that weather.
Talked to a buddy in southern WI the other day. They had some small backwater start to ice up around Christmas and he got out and ice fished twice, then it warmed up and the ice got too thin. The big water has not iced up yet. They were going to have one day this week with a high of 50. In January. In Wisconsin. He said the marshes have more waterfowl than he sees when the season is open.
I know there are some good holes in historic places that are going to kill ducks regardless of a strong migration but those days of 100K waterfowl up high and coming south ain't happening this year. It didn't happen last year either.
Those rare days when the ducks are where you are and you can blaze them....you better be there, cause it ain't gonna last there are so few around.
We might get some weather come the week of 1/20. I hope so.

Looked like maybe 8K ducks, maybe. They were keying in on that new water.
