Duck hunting sucked this morning. The SIL bagged a goose, but that was it. It’s been so warm here that the foul [sic] are not moving.
Yep you’re still shooting locals. They don’t have an urgency to find the safety of others because they live there and know their habitat. When the lakes freeze up nort they move to the rivers, when the rivers freeze they move south. That’s when you’ll see the migration. That’s also when you’re most likely to get jewelry. Next to hunting for your dog the second most satisfying thing is getting jewelry. Goose jewelry is most common but duck jewelry is pretty rare. I’ve only got one duck band my entire life and it was on a mallard, the most common of the rare.
