One yesterday and zero today when two of us left at 1030

2 guys still in blind.

Fog so thick that you can hear birds right above you but can't see them.

What is your season count so far?

January is a game changer

I like your optimism and I sure hope so!

January can be a great month. However, long range shows a change maybe after the 16th. Maybe with high winds mon. Nite an tues a few will come back from below us.

It's frustrating to put all your literal and figurative ducks into one basket (January), but I've found myself in that position before also.

This year we got some colder weather earlier, so west TN hunting has gotten better earlier than it has the past couple of years. We'll see how January pans out. I'm drawn for a 3-day hunt this coming week on the tail of this cold front. Cautiously optimistic.

Hats off to you guys doing the SEMO thing to make something work. I don't have the dedication, or schedule flexibility, to drive that far. I'd say 80% of my duck hunting involves me getting back home before ~ 1 PM to either work, pick up a kid from school, etc. I'm sure it's pretty frustrating for you guys to do that, but I'm proud of you for making the effort!

Just came across this information last night. No wonder I wasn't seeing many...hopefully they come back soon.

Hate to hear it. Headed to my pit Saturday. Not real confident at this point.

Lots of back water along the Obion and Forked Deer systems from all the rain. I imagine they are scattered in in. On a side note I might get to duck hunt my deer farm. lol
