Duck migration makes no sense at all...

You mean there are a few ducks around now as compared to none (zero) in the last few years?

I think by the time you get to this point in the season the ducks are already either down or where they want to be. It'll take a major winter weather event to get them all moving. The ice storm last February showed that. My place was covered up the day before it hit. The ones here on a mild winter will move with a front then come back. It might take them a few days to remember where they were but they are south somewhere. Overall we are only 5 weeks from them migrating back north.

THIS ALL DAY EVERYDAY UNTIL THERE AIN'T A DUCK LEFT

Always thought it was “high as giraffe pussy”. Guess it could be cold too.

Does anyone else notice that nowadays these late season cold fronts do nothing but push the birds we already have down here out?

Does the Pope shite in the woods?

It's cold as shite in NELA today. I would say our birds pushed down there but we didn't have any.

The days I got to hunt this year were like 85 degrees and teal, greys, sprigs, spoonies, and mallards were all flying around. Granted the mallards weren't decoying at all.

I learned long ago that you can never ever predict where and when the big ducks are going to be. Few years back we made a hole in ice in a frozen pond and didn't see nothing for a while and I was talking to my buddy then from over our heads zooming in were like 40 ducks of a very weird assortment (dos gris, blackjacks, woodies, spoonies, and a few grays) swarmed in the broken ice hole. We got what we could, then no more ducks fell for it for another hour or so and we left. Just goes to show the days you think are going to be perfect sometimes aren't.

NE LA seems to do much better on a warm up South wind day. We have killed them on the actual front day when it pushes through. It is the post front day or 2 after that sucks for the most part.

These days CenLa is about the same it seems in many places. Or just stale birds staying the whole time.
