Weather Outlook

It's dry out there drier than I ever remember.... Food is plentiful in the bottoms.

I am not seeing anything positive in the long term forecast for West TN. I am ok with it being dry as long as it gets cold but that does not seem to be the case whatsoever. I was hoping last year was rock bottom but I am not so sure...

Seems like that's what I say every year…"can't be as bad as last year"

Last year was pitiful. Bad as I ever remember. Our blind last year in a spot that should kill 300-350 killed 16 ducks and 3 geese all season.

Especially with the weather in the 70s this week.

You're right, it'll be a cold and snowy February before we all know it.

 

[TimberMan]

It is going to be a long season without water or colder temps. This weekend isn't looking very promising

I prefer pessimism & panic, but then I'm also a UT fan in addition to being a duck hunter so that's all I really know.

True but getting up at 3:15, eating breakfast and getting skunked is not as attractive as it used to be. waking up at 7:30 and drinking coffee in the recliner as I get older is starting to pull on me some mornings.

If you are not killing anything why get up so early to go?

Crappie and golf weather.
Wish I could roll vacation days.

Long drive and watching the dog work on the few we scratch out...plus its a sickness.

Should be enough to get the ground wet. I don't think it is going to fall quickly enough to run off and add much water to help the ducks. Maybe some places will get a heavy rain.

 

[Levee Jumper]

I'll take rain and backwaters over cold right now.

We need the bottoms to fill up, then it get cold lol

 

[RUGER]

I just wanna be able to wade Gooch LOL

I'm not a big duck hunter like you guys, and I realize little to no back water and 70 degree temps are not desired by any of you. With that said, I know a few boys who thumped them this past weekend, along the Forked Deer River. They even killed a black duck, earliest I have ever seen one. Are these local ducks?

 

[RUGER]

Are these local ducks?

I would guess yes.

This has NOTHING to do with hunting.....it's the UT pain talkin.

No there really aren't any local ducks. We usually kill a handful of black ducks each year. There was some good hunting this weekend especially if you were able to hold birds before season. Some promise to this system Sunday but these temps are awful...

What are we looking at? I feel pretty confident it's bad news but can't tell what it is exactly.

 

[RUGER]
