Early sunrise brought non-stop ducks for about 1 and 1/2 hours. We were not fortunate enough to get into any, but we did manage to see all the ducks in Burt County. Man there are a lot, it's nice to know the birds that came down a week ago are still here. A single snow goose popped in just before shooting time and sat there until we were legal and we snuck up on him. About 35 mins later we had two more geese commit hard, and we got them both. Kind of an unusual pair, a single mature big adult snow goose and a small immature Canada goose. One or both were obviously confused as to who they should be pairing up with this time of year. The NW Ditch had to have hammered ducks this AM, they had at least 5 rounds, with what sounded like 6 0r 7 hunters in the ditch. Haven't heard their numbers yet but I'm guessing they should be pretty good. The South Ditch saw just one bunch of 30 ducks over the river, so nothing going on there. This week looks to be promising as the temps are supposed to dip with a mild Low Front moving through mid-week. Wednesday or Thursday will be the next day out for us. It's now November and when/if the wind and weather switches, it's time to start taking a few mornings off, no reason to save them now. Duck Fever has been known to strike 5 or 6 times from November to the end of the year, even though I got my flu shot, I'm certain I'll get it again this year. We'll keep you all up to date as soon as we hear something new.
