We have a ton of ducks around right now and little water.
Until we get a big freeze they will stay here.
No weather likely coming up next 10 days to help you all but some colder weather is supposed to stay to our North and may get a freeze into the Dakotas.

Saw 100 cranes migrating this past weekend though, headed towards Nebraska.

Had pile of teal, 7 gaddies and dozen pintail in Fannin property. Can’t wait. Shot more dove this year in afternoon hunts. Been hot on water. 6-9 harvested in 45 minutes to 1.5 hours before sunset. Been great

Last week we drove up to South Dakota to grouse and phez hunt. We were in short sleeves the whole time. Along the way there and back, we didn't see any good numbers from OK to Nebraska or on the way back down. There are a lot of teal, gadwall, and wigeon stacked up in the Dakotas right now.

Im now fully flooded. So, just waiting now!

I was supposed to go to SD for waterfowl this year. I drew a tag but no one else I had discussed going with drew. Kind of glad I didn't as I really don't want to hunt in warmer weather. I'd rather it be just on the edge of them moving out but not quite. I guess I could still go if someone had a tag. Otherwise, I'll have to try again next year with zero points. But the odds are pretty good. Sounds like they haven't even started moving south yet.

The spot where you took that picture from is where I'll set up. Send me that pin again. I think I lost it.

Looks good.

Sending now........

Next year we're going for the waterfowl draw, too. It would work out great to give my dog's feet a day or two off in the middle of upland hunting. I've been up there 3 of the last 4 years ranging from late Oct to early Dec and there have always been good numbers around.

Getting some good rain northwest of the metroplex.
Scouted east of the metroplex on Saturday. Waterlevels are ok, but could be better. Not many birds seen.

Cold weather this week may get them loving South, we should get down into the 20's at night for several days.

Saw 50+\_ mainly GWT 7 gadwall, dozen mallards pintails mixed yesterday around 10am on Fannin Property

Need more rain and cold weather. I'm not seeing but a few here and there. Grayson county.

Pretty good rain forecasted out west with a little front. Fingers crossed.

Driving to and back from Chicago I didn't see a lot of birds flying. I thought I would see some in Mo but nothing. Crossing northern Mo into IL I saw a few geese but I suspect they were locals. Weather was nice. NOT duck migration weather. The big lake was the nicest I've seen it. Calm and green to the beach. Looked like N Padre on a good spring day except no seas. No ducks out there either.

I didn't see any moving in OK. Only ducks I saw were this morning circling a tank near my house. Big ducks. Probably mallards.

I did hear a couple mergansers yesterday. I don't count those.
