Weather is s but of a misnomer. Ducks migrate hundreds and even thoudands of miles at a time. They don't all just stay just in front of freeze lines. They decide to go, they go. But the reason they may be stopping short is food, migration and breeding is incredibly stressful.


If this were the case, then why do we have any ducks in Louisiana in September, October, November? Why did we have an estimate of over 3 million birds last November when we had multiple cold fronts coming through?

You can call it a misnomer, but it is clearly a driving factor in multiple species. The food does not just become unavailable. It is either eaten, or made unavailable by some mechanism, weather being one.

Nutrition and all of the other stuff you pointed out though, I definitely agree with that. That corn alone is not keeping those birds. Just not enough of what they need in it.

I disagree on Biloxi management area getting too much pressure. It's a total of 50,000 acres and I've made many hunts never seeing another hunter. That doesn't help move many birds once they get settled in.

Why are there three million birds here early? Cause we still have some food, they came here cause it was time to pick up and leave. Not because everything was snowed in.
