re: Baws who complain about lack of duck numbers

In montana now

Drove through missouri ark iowa and south dakota.

Waste grain in South Dakota corn fields was not as high as i remember in the past. Much more wheat planted and still lots of corn standing in the fields. Many water holes historically dry when I make this trip are holding water

Iowa and northern missouri.. holding water on unharvested crops. Ducks in fields and ponds thick which I havent seen before on this drive. Thick meaning thousands in one field.

Essentially, there is tons of habit with flooded crop up north. Going to take a major freeze and snow to get birds down. Even then, lots of water across ark and northern la will stall birds too.

Coast is going to suck.
