Just left the farm to check my water levels and turn my well off. And ducks are already down and I’m sure way more are coming. Great sign!!!!!

Calm it down Stinkey. You don't want to blow your wad before the opener. ![grin grin](/forum/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif)

What area are you hunting?
Headed down to the coast for the opener and would love to hear what people are seeing.
Go Rangers!

Been seeing teal, spoons and pintails on the coast. I haven't been out since this front hit, but I'm sure the ducks are thick now, and it should be a shoot em up Saturday morning.

Good luck !!

Calm it down Stinkey. You don't want to blow your wad before the opener. ![grin grin](/forum/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif) Had about 200 ducks on my place. (5 acres) Mostly Gadwall and Teal, but a handful of Mallards mixed in. Im pretty sure they will swap out for divers by opening day knowing my luck! ![roflmao roflmao](/forum/images/graemlins/default/roflmao.gif)

You could have spent well north of 6 figures on a developing a wetland in a historical drought to watch it sit dry all season. ![bang bang](/forum/images/graemlins/default/bang.gif)

You can make sausage out of old boot leather if need be. But honestly, I'd prefer greenheads and pintails as well.
No matter how high a duck flies a hammer still breaks a window.
