Isn't it almost time

For DU to put out their annual "Year of the duck" magazine touting 50 million birds, that dam few guys can seem to locate? I know I'm pumped for it.........................

DU, Delta, they all put out the same numbers from the Fish and Wildlife service.

I find lots of them a week or so after the season ends most years.

A couple years ago I watched mallards flying out non-stop for hours. Somewhere around 11AM until around 3PM there was probably not more than a few minutes where I could not see at least 100 mallards heading out.

During hunting season I'm seeing ducks, singles, doubles, and not many a lot of days. After the season it is not unusual to see swarms.

I'm excited this year because our season runs roughly a week longer than normal because of the way the Saturdays in October fall and how they schedule our seasons. If we have a cold winter this should be a good year.

Now I need to start working on my excuse for duck hunting on Christmas day.

Great plan except for it's gunna freeze up on Dec 20...grand passage. The guys down south will be talking about for years.

The colder the better. Excessive snowfall can be a problem. The nuke plants keep the water open.
