Same here and the birds seen were at the easiest access and can mostly be seen from the road so it will be stacked with folks

I could care less how many come in. I am glad to just go sit down in the blind. After this massive amount of work, the number of ducks really means nothing to me. I just want to sit down and drink me a cup of coffee in the blind and watch the morning come to daybreak. I have half of a mind to not even take a shotgun and just let my wife hammer at whatever comes in. A no pressure kick back type of morning is to me a whole lot better right now than the running and gunning I have done for the past 37 years.

Since you scouted in the afternoon, maybe there will be more ducks in the morning. confused2 Be where the ducks want to be and you will have no worries. Just be early.......

Get out there any way, never know what the duck gods will give you. Scouting has not been that great for me either thru early teal and youth, but still had good morning shoots, so you never know.

Saturday, all my private tanks were empty, but the birds where in all the others. Ive got the groceries so it was disopointing. Got word a mass of birds moved into my area yesterday and this morning. We normally dont have god shoots till the last weekend of the first split, but still going because its what we have waited all year for right?! 2 test monday so ill prolly have a Biology and Ecology book in the blind with me

I'd rather be deer hunting this weekend but that didn't work out. We've got a ton of ducks on the place we hunt up near Bonham though, so I guess I'll do that

40 birds...6 bird limit...You only need 1 for every 6.66 that fly by. That's some decent odds.
