[QUOTE="Dodge Man, post: 5785850, member: 2062"] Like you said I don’t think most ducks might down past the freeze line anymore. If you look at nesting pair count’s Mallard numbers are down over 50% since 2016 to 2023 counts. As well as the refuges are not manned the same way or nearly as well as they were 10 years ago. They don’t pump water on them nearly early enough to stop the ducks that are migrating in early November. A lot are not planning food on the refuge like they once did. I have heard they do not have the budget to run pumps to keep water on the refuge or do repairs needed to hold water around Reelfoot. [/QUOTE]
