South wind fronts

[younggun308]

Obviously optimism reigns with excitement when a storm system or strong, cold wind comes from the north. But what about when, as often happens, you get a front from the Gulf?

I'm curious about 2 scenarios particularly:
1) when you have migrators pushed in the area already
2) when, so far as you know, you do not already have migrators in the area

Do you ever see a reverse-migration, either chasing away your ducks or bringing up ducks from the south? Or is it just a rainy day, either way?

some of our best hunts have been on reverse migrations.

Reverse migrations can be fantastic but....there has to be ducks south of us in numbers. Currently there is not much in the way of waterfowl below Illinois

Amen! Son, you're preaching to the choir. Pitiful. And don't know what its gonna take, unless heavy snow cover.

Reverse migrations are great especially on a thaw with hungry birds floating back north. Also seen where they are the most pressured wary birds ever and will bug out at a gunshot a mile away.
