Picking up?

This reminds me of last year about this time, the great question where the hell are they? Forbes last survey showed that a lot of ducks moved out of their area which is mid latitude- IL & MO. Already talked about the AR survey, they don't seem to be there... so are they hanging on the gulf coast? Did they push back up north? Last couple years there's been so much water you could at least buy the argument they were spread out all over creation but that's certainly not the case this year. I don't have any answers. I'll keep going whenever I can but I'm not going out of my way or burning a bunch of PTO to get after em.
 
Reckon they jumped flyways? Hanging out over in NE, KS & OK? Habitat to pressure ratio has to be better over there than the heart of the MS flyway, no?

They are spread out from SEMO to ND. Seasons closed north of us.. This year has been a very strange weather pattern where even though its been average temperatures for us but its been way above average up north. The temps really don't vary that much all they way into the Dakotas. On a typical year the freeze line would be somewhere in MO or even further south. We have had two snows that hit south of us? When can you remember that happening?

It looks like the Dakotas might hit sub zeros end of next week.. Better late than never.
 
My family's got roots in the Nebraska panhandle. I'm dying to take a trip there to jump aboard the Central Flyway bandwagon after all the reports I've seen this year.
Seems the early season was really good south of the Dakotas because of an early freeze-up in late October. I'm sure most years won't be like that.
 
After a short window of glory Friday afternoon it all came crashing down again. I saw no indication of new ducks and the ones here are as stale as I have ever seen.. I have come to terms that this season is over and it ain't gonna get better. I guess now I can get those Christmas lights down...

The state of this duck season about on par with the state of the Tennessee Football program.
