New ducks with this front

honestly, I am not even the idea that ducks are driven down by fronts is much more than a myth...I have hunted for years thinking that, but can't say I have ever seen an appreciable increase in ducks that I can tie directly to cold weather...

Anyone seeing a noticeable influx of ducks with this freeze?

High birds - nothing workable

From my experience, and what a USFW Biologist agrees with, big fronts push the ducks out into the gulf where they will raft up and wait out the cold. They then come back on the south breezes as the weather changes. This is of course, only in coastal marsh areas. We have classically slaughtered the ducks in the marsh on the warming days after a front. It sucks hunting in a tee shirt but bring 2 Thermacells and be prepared to hunt till at least 9. We have been getting massive flights of teal at daylight with the big ducks trickling in most of the morning. The last two times that we have hunted the warming trend after a front, we could have had 10 limits easy.
