re: Duck season around the corner, does everyone have water?

Hunted vet youth active duty down in Venice. Ducks were scarce. Saw probably 1/10 of the birds we normally would see. Shot our pintail both days. Saw mostly pintails and dosgris. We shot a variety of birds but passed on the dogs.

Teal were close to non existent where we hunted. Pond is normally full of the Wild rice and grass but is basically bare as the moons surface this year.
