Get Ready

They are getting snow dumped on em in Iowa and N. MO from what I've seen

 

[Dodge Man]

This late in the season, many times they wont push south. They tend to sit tite. Cold by itself may not be enough. Need snow also above us. Surely this season can get any worse.

They are calling for 12-20"+ in places North of us.

^^^^^^ That's what I'm talking about.

Do y'all think this is gonna be for real or just a fizzle like 2022 Christmas cold snap? It sucked that year up till the cold but it wasn't anything extra, it just got cold and moved a few dux but nothing great happened.

Last year after the thaw it turned back to mild and stale. If this new pattern hangs around I don't think it will fizzle.

You know its actully sad, we are down to hoping that we will get 1-2 days of hunting the last week of a 60 day season. I believe there has been 2 birds killed out of our blind this year.

10+ " of snow plus several days of subzero temps they will be forced to migrate..

There's a lot of hype going on. I think cause everyone is so desperate for a good hunt right now. There will be a buttload of dummies out on the WMAs--I dread that. But maybe it will be a good few days before Jan 31. Then again, duck hunting usually has a way of kicking you in the teeth.

I have had many let downs when it comes to hoping for ducks with weather patterns..

BUT one thing I have learned through the years is that named winter storms with lots of the white stuff mixed in is the closest thing to a guarantee there is...

Packed and on way in the morning, should arrive at the farm about 9:00 with my fingers crossed. Hope to hunt 5 days and then head back next week at the thaw

There is no thaw in the forecast for West TN. Its barely going to get above freezing before January 23. But that far out is usually yearly average temperatures and not true forecast.

I was just responding to Westduckhtr saying the next week he plans to hunt the thaw. By what i can see it will still be frozen solid until January 23-24.

I think the ducks are going farther south once the ice hits the fields. We will be locked up by Saturday, so I'm heading to Ar. thursday. I'm hoping the forecast warms up a bit. .

 

[JCDEERMAN]

It was spitting snow at my place here in middle TN not too long ago

 

[West_Tn]

Water was rising fast at Tigrett today.

Well I'll be waiting with a big open hole for them ( that's what she said )

Looks like even with the ice eater running all nite, Monday looks froze out?

I'd never say it can't get any worse, once it's said, invariably it does indeed get worse.

Yeah I'm not that mad at em'… I'll be inside all day Monday and Tuesday
