COLD WEATHER IS UPON US AND DUCKS ARE ON THE MOVE!!

Greetings All:
Lots of ducks on the move as cold weather takes a grip on the Midwest. Along the Mississippi Flyway, best results have been in backwater sloughs that are near farm fields where birds can go to feed. So far the traditional areas have not produced as well as those small ponds and marsh areas have.


Right now, change from main river areas and look for what I like to call "Pothole & Puddle Ducks". These smaller areas are getting a lot of bird action right now.  Most hunters are passing these areas up and are missing some great shooting.


One last thing for now. Afternoons have proven to be producing much better than early morning hunts. You can hit the blind after work for a bit and do quite well. 


Dress warm, be safe and remember, ALWAYS know what you are shooting at!!!  Also, don't take those far away shots and risk cripples. More birds will come your way. 


Have a wonderful time and make some memories.
