[QUOTE="Displaced_Vol, post: 4830892, member: 20484"] I am curious some of your all’s opinion on when they get up to move in relation to a big front. The one going through now has cold & a pretty good bit of snow. But even generally speaking, will they (let’s say average mallards) pick up & move before the front arrives in their area? As it is moving through their area? Or, do they ride it out & “survey the damage” so to speak and assess the food availability after the snow before deciding to pack it up & head south? I know that is an over simplification & there are too many variables not accounted (rather hunting seasons are opened or closed in a given area is a big factor) but I am interested to hear what some of you hands that have been doing this a while have to say. I feel like in January, any decent warm shot with a south wind & we’ll catch some ducks bouncing back up from below us. I try to keep good notes every year but one thing I haven’t done is record weather that’s been happening north or south of us. I always jot down what our weather is like, but never make a note of what was happening else where in the flyway. [/QUOTE]
