So it ends up that the area I went to was in between the resident ducks leaving and the migrators arriving. There for we saw barely any ducks the entire two days and if we did see them they were extremely smart and did not decoy or even get close (with lots of work). My dad and I decided that instead of getting pissed off with the little amount of ducks we were seeing we decided to go all out on upland hunting. In the end we had an amazing trip. we both limited out friday and saturday and also got about 14 cottontails. Overall not what I was expecting with the trip. But it ended up being an amazing time at my families ranch.

Don't feel bad, you didn't do anything wrong. We're a few hours north of your spot right now and we are just starting to see birds show up. Probably put 150+ miles on this afternoon and finally found a pothole holding 2k plus mallards. Probably hadn't seen more than a dozen anywhere else. Hope they come back tomorrow...

Well we're headed home now. Ended the trip with right around 60 birds between 3 guys. Not the best but far from bad. Still had a blast.
