This final waterfowl report from Mid-South waterfowler Scott May.
"Well, I waited around for some positive news and got none.
The consensus is that '09-'10 was a horrible duck season; sure there were the occasional limit hunts for 4-5 people with 4 mallards per gun, but they were few and far between.
When top clubs start taking 50% ring necks to fill out the limit, things are bad in the mid-south.
Glad I did not make a big investment in duck hunting property or, for that matter, duck loads. Bass Pro has plenty of the latter, and I bet you can get deep discounts in the former.
The typical "good" club/property was down 1/3 to 1/2 from historical averages.
Just wait until next year, when we start feeling the effects of hundreds of thousands of acres in North and South Dakota being taken out of CRP; thus bad nesting for what has become our main nesting area.
My new deer rifle should get a lot of use this Fall.
Turkey season is just around the corner and turkeys do not migrate!!"
