Where are the flights of ducks?

Postby Doc Holliday » Sat Jan 20, 2007 11:42 am

Ive been asking myself this question since the first cold weather at the beginning of December. Ive hunted everyday since Tuesday and have yet to see any migration. I hunt in Yazoo City, and the only ducks I see are local ducks that have been there. Every morning I wake up @ 3:45 and drive an hour, telling my self today is the day. But everyday I'm seeing fewer and fewer ducks.

If our ducks are leaving, where's the next wave? Has anyone seen large flights north of me? Just looking for a glimmer of hopr to motivate me to keep up this routine. I have a seven week old little boy at home which makes it even tougher. Changing diapers and feeding him every three hours along with these damn ducks is wearing me thin.

If I cant have ducks just hurry up with February. I cant do this much longer.

I've seen a lot of new ducks north of Yazoo city both in flight and on water. On our place in Thorton, we've got more ducks than we've had all year right now.

I hunted private water near Valley Park this morning and had the usual wood ducks, but saw the fewest birds in the air since the season started. I dont get it, I would have thought the cold north of us would have brought in some new action. I also did not hear the usual vollies of gun fire that we usually hear. Fortunately we had more snipe than I have ever seen -- groups of 40 or so and we had a great shoot.

I hunted north of Charleston yesterday after noon and we saw a lot of new ducks. About ten minutes before dark the sky was cover with mostly mallards and wood ducks. We killed a mixture of mallards, wood ducks, green wing teal, and one shovler.

No southward blowing jetstream ...seems to equal no ducks.
