Gambled and took some Vacation days….. off the 16th-27th, worst case scenario I'll spend my time in front of the wood stove sippin on good bourbon and cooking white beans

Season is almost over, you might as well burn a couple vacation days. You know there is nothing else worth holding on to them for after duck season. 😂

This is the the first season since I started waterfowling I haven't hunted 40+ days….. I've been on 3 morning hunts total this far
Looking forward to warmer weather and fishing season this year 😁😁😁

I can beat you on that, this is the first season in maybe 20+ years I have not hunted a single day so far. Normally I would hunt 20-30 days a season.
 
I told'em 15th and 16th I'm taking off, my little dog probably good as the weather man at getting the forecast right that far out but better early getting off than late. If it don't pan out I'll go on to work. This may be our best last shot at doing anything, you only get maybe 3 or 4 really good days outta 60 where things line up right. Y'all keep your fingers crossed.🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
We seen a few more this morning, heard more shooting, I'm gonna take my pup squirrel hunting in the morning, nothing I see about tomorrow makes me think it would be any better than today and we didn't do much today.
 
Talked with my buddy in Iowa, most their smaller ponds are starting to ice and they have a dusting of snow on the ground. These light snows help cool the ground so when the heavier snow comes it makes a solid blanket. Wife has a friend in N.MO and she shaid they are calling for 6-8" of snow this week.
 
I bet Habitat Flats will wreck them out of their spring feed and ice eater woods holes. I hunted the Eagles Nest hole one morning in the snow and ice. They had the ice eaters running all night and turned them off 5 minutes before shooting time. With Mark Bloss barking on a RNT Mondo about an hour and 48 ducks later we were done.
My buddy with his world champion lab, his was so good they let us use his lab😀.

Habitat flats season has been closed since after Christmas and they're already letting water off. Middle Missouri closes tomorrow. That's why it's not normal for that area to be holding so many waterfowl this late. Usually they have seen several hard freezes and storms already. Better late than never.

They are starting to push a little already. My SIL and I hun this weekend and limited out early both mornings. New ducks that wanted to work, unfortunately just the two of us hunting, or we would have had more.

Man I've been hunting so many 12-16 man blinds lately a 2 man limit sounds amazing…
 
It looks like this is the window, Saturday through Wednesday,after that it's back to the 40's and 50's for highs till the 31st. It is what it is but it's not the thing, a slow southward creeping cold line, like a river overflowing is banks and spreading out over the bottoms, that starts about December 1st and stays in place till March, spreading out over the whole eastern part of the country is what moves dux.

I am not seeing that? Looks like the freeze line should hold to the finish line. 🤞
