This is getting as bad as quail hunting got in the 80’s. May as well be lion hunting. No ducks on the ponds or the river. Never seen it like this, and I have seen some terribly slow years. Are any of you guys up north seeing any???

NO WATER AND NO DUCKS in Tennessee so far this year. -
We have water & lots of food. Water is low but still plenty and food in most all of it. Just no ducks here. Starting to really take ol Gato serious.Comment

I mean there’s still open water in Canada. I agree numbers are down, but the ones we do have haven’t had any reason to leave.

They don’t exist. We need a 30 day season with 3 duck limits.
How many of you have seen the 12M mallards they find in their duck counts. You can go from north to south and there are way more OTMs than there are mallards. Their duck counts are a joke.
DU is only working to improve hunting for a select few in a select area.
The ducks aren’t short stopping, they don’t exist.

There's some ducks up here. Mostly pintails.Goose GuideComment

Paper ducks. Not the numbers they reportComment

all I got to say is thank God for teal. Damn few Mallards but they are increasing a bit. No water really crams together hunters on public and having to continue to pump our wetlands. Plenty of good habitat if we had water. with exception of opening day, killed more hogs than ducks.Comment

This weather sucks. We're supposed to be in the 60's today. We've been in the 20's maybe twice. There's a reason I shifted gears and started goose hunting a lot harder and more frequently about 12 to 15 years ago.Goose GuideComment

We had a good GWT weekend, the last weekend of the first split. I thought then, “ ok, we are on track now.”Originally posted by Patos el supremo View Post

Weather pattern has been weird as F, at least in SETX.
Normally, fronts come from N>S, with a swing from the NW>SE sometimes.
2 things. Before the fronts get here, we get a sucking off the Gulf that brings in moisture. Making our area the wettest in TX. This year, we are the dryest. This also pushes us ducks from KS, OK, and NETX. Been that way as long as I can remember.
This year, the fronts are running W>E if not SW>NE. We're sure not getting ducks from Houston or Austin, and there is no rain to speak of. They peter out before they get a chance to pull any water from the South.
Granted, I agree with fewer ducks, less cold, more staying up north, and all that, but I think in our area, this pattern is contributing to the suckage.
