re: The golden years for ducks are gone....

I have a lease in KS and we shot more grey ducks this year than we have in the past 7 (by a wide margin). We also shot less mallards because they were still on SD/NE border as of last week. We scratched our birds, but not the piles of mallards we have in the past. Point being, the ducks just didn’t make it down this year. Just my opinion from someone that hunts in Midwest but grew up hunting in La/MS duck blinds. Odd year everywhere. I know many folks in KS/NE/AR that say this is the worst year they’ve ever had.
