It was crazy today, panicking dux! They didn't ask any questions, just dumped the air off their wings and feet down. Best day we've had in awhile.

Saw tons on migrating ducks and geese. Had a few looks but no commitment.
Past week has been steady. Did not hunt this morning. 4 of us went to the blind around 3:30 to set ice Eaters and killed 11 mallards while setting everything up. Mass migration going on with thousands of ducks coming in from the north. Up to 10 inches of snow in the forcast for tonight and the entire North Mississippi Delta frozen solid. Should be good tomorrow.

Just got back from Greenwood Mississippi area three of us limited on specks every day even after the thunderstorms and high winds. Not many ducks in the area but looked like several were coming in in large groups yesterday afternoon and this morning.
We went with high hopes but it wasn't a repeat of yesterday, lots of big groups high and heading out but what did work , the wind was wrong for the ice eater, blind etc. Plus we froze.
Working out of town til tomorrow….. buddies smacked them on the river this morning, 90% green heads…… hopefully a few will stay around during the freeze for me to chase this week
25 this eve. Mostly mallards. Should have had 40. Cant hit nothing. lol.

Its been good since Friday. Killed about 120 the last 5 days. As always, when its really good, you need more people. Headed back to work now as its starting to freeze pretty hard.

Right about now I'm jealous of you guys that 1) have ducks, and 2) don't have to drive over a mountain to get to them. I imagine we got birds on the lakes around here but there's not a lot of east ways to get to the water right now

Lots of great reports. We had great hunts Saturday and Sunday. The area we hunted Monday is having a bad year and we only killed 4. Kind of jealous when hearing reports of 40-60+ and almost all mallards. Worked a group of 60+ mallards and 200+ teal Sunday at another hole up river. Definitely the migration event we were hoping for. Saw an impressive number of birds a mile high Monday getting the heck out of dodge and heading south. MS and LA seasons looking up until the thaw!

All the lots at ramps were full this morning. Lots of folks called out of work to hunt today Im sure. . For nothing. We did not see a duck. I dont think we heard 5 shots within miles. We left at 9.
