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.



My buddy in Green Bay says the same thing

I’m not holding my breath on a cold front getting them here this year. I have surpassed my kill total from last year by 1 duck. I killed more when I quit duck hunting and took up deer hunting during the 90s. rofl
