Lack of goose numbers or lack of cooperation as you reported in the early season?

Did you leave a map with the route to Gueydan highlighted with the reaming flocks?

AJ said their specks split with the ducks last night, so we'll probably get to see them briefly before banging them out.

Even hunting the field they wanted in Arkansas,they were still to be highly respected and can slide off in a heartbeat

From the looks of their social media brags, that may not be too far from the truth. Sheesh.

I truly believe it substantially affects things and the birds are now imprinted

We will get photopic migratory birds. But after the first good front or too,they move on and the lull ensues

Cast your die at Habitat Flats and see how it goes for you. As with most everywhere, there are both winners and losers there, too. Read it on the internet, must be so.

If it's any consolation, I haven't seen a speck over the marsh in a while, either.

I am sure the pot will be stirred once the shooting starts. I am not hunting this weekend due to work but I expect the marsh will do well duck wise,some isolated fields will kill ducks,and people with geese around that know their business will be successful. Other then that it’s going to be very tough from now to the end.

Few hundred ducks on the piece where Marsh and I were below Gueydan this morning, but a lot more geese overhead. Had left the duck and speck calls that usually live in pocket this time of year on my desk and found myself "aie-lick"ing an old bird/young bird brace of specks to what I would like to think would have been certain deaths over a guy in a brown hoody kneeling beside a standing dog in mid field. May well have just been curious about what dread circumstance had some poor bastard caterwauling so...
