Holy...Geese

Well, the morning produced absolutely nothing for the boys at the Ditch. We had one group of 8 ducks want to work, an itchy trigger finger followed by a "click" and then followed by a couple late shots led the birds safely to freedom. The morning ended rather early as there was nothing, and I mean nothing going on in the way of decoyable birds. Late in the day, around 3Pm or so the migration of Snows and Blues was well under way. I haven't seen birds like this anytime in the last 7 or 8 years. You used to be able to see these birds every year when they would stop over at Desoto Bend, but as of late that hasn't been happening. We've heard for quite some time that there isn't much water to the North and with the recent cold temp's the birds are on the move. I can't tell you how many birds we saw today, the constant streams both high and low, kept you busy. Saw a very limited amount of ducks and very few Can's until late, quitting time late. Nothing harvested today from the Ditch. Reports from all over the area mirror this one. Lots and Lots and Lots of migrating birds today. We don't have much coming in the way of favorable duck hunting weather other than tomorrow's wind. The ducks and Can's should be just behind this huge wave of snow geese coming into the area. We have about 3 weeks left in our duck season before we pack up the deeks and go scouting in the "late season" area's, sure hope we catch them soon. I am certain of one thing, if you're reading this and you have the ability, or perhaps the creativity, to get out tomorrow, I would do it. Unfortunately the Ditch will be empty, we will post what we hear so check back in tomorrow for the latest and greatest, and thanks for all the hits.
