With the temperatures forecast in the single digits for the next week,we pulled the last of our decoys yesterday. It turned out to be our best day, 3 guys and 10 ducks, 9 bluebills (scaup) and 1 gadwall. We have never seen the mallards that we have in the past but I heard that last Tues. and Wed. the other blinds had some mallards. Old boy who lives on the river said he thought they went down west of us. I have had reports of good counts in Western Missouri but I'm done on the Mississippi. Might get some goose hunting in out in the fields as long as we don't get a lot of the white crap.
This season has been my worst ever, a lot of hard work for 50 ducks, and only 8 mallards but I guess that's why it's called hunting.
