Coots have moved in in full force over the past 2 weeks. Seen some gadwalls here and there driving to and from work across the bay up close that I could positively ID. Planning on taking the boat out Friday or Saturday and scoping out a spot for opening day. Saw a large group of smallish ducks landing a couple hundred yards from the road earlier this week while driving...probably blue wings considering the lack of birds we had during September! Still have yet to kill a late season drake. Ducks have definitely started to show up, though. I’d imagine this cold blast will make for a good opener. I just hope it doesn’t get too warm over thanksgiving.
