Duck migration question

[SwineAssassiN]

All over.

i mean i seen ur pic with your banded mallard, and a strap of solid green, was that north texas?

We stay on the move constantly to stay where the birds are, but the marsh becomes a lifeless wasteland a lot in january. Yeah they get skittish, and we can kill skittish but we can't kill not here.

i know what u mean, im done in the marsh for this season. haha.

I think the simple answer to your question is yes, but we need a good hard freeze through the Midwest to see a significant push of new ducks all the way down to the coastal plains. Hopefully we get one in January because new ducks don't do us much good in February. They won't normally be headed back north until after our season has ended.

Yes.... I was just giving you the typical answer when a seasoned public land duck hunter gets asked where he hunts.... We are primarily in North Texas.

If you dont get a super hard freeze up north you will see very few bird's migrate south this late in the season. The best you can hope for is storm systems such as the one were getting today. It put's water on new flat's and scatters bird's somewhat. The major migration is over barring any significant arctic air to freeze everything up north.

Like said above, there are a lot of factors determining migration, but, yes, they will migrate south this late, but it depends more on other factors

I supposed to be in Stuttgart today, but cancelled because they have few birds. The guy I hunt with, went through Missouri and said they are bumper to bumper there....but 68 degrees in Arkansas aint good. If it dont freeze up north they have no reason to fly down, they have everthing they need there.

We are getting new birds around here daily but they seem to just be stacking up in a few spots,almost like they are fixing to turn around and head back. I do believe as long as they have a fairly moderate temp and plenty of food they will only go as far as they need to.
