I talked to my boss on Thursday.
He has a pit near Kennett MO, about 5 miles from the one that I was supposed to be in this year.
They normally kill anywhere from 750 to 900 ducks per year out of his pit.
This data goes back for the last 12 years that he has hunted there.
As of Thursday they had killed less than 10 ducks. :shock:
His group's theory is the ducks came down and the farmers in the area were so far behind that there wasn't enough water to catch their attention yet and they kept going.
Kinda makes sense, the one day I did hunt, the day after Thanksgiving, we saw literally thousands of ducks but they were all high and all headed South.
I haven't heard of anyone really killing anything around NW TN yet either.
You will hear scattered reports of limits here and there but very very rare.
I spent some time riding around a couple of the refuge's around here last weekend and I didn't see a handfull of ducks.
Maybe it will pick up a bit soon for everyone.
