Migration?

Hello again all my technologically advanced and well connected waterfowl enthusiast friends. Welcome to Muck Bottom Outfitter Waterfowl Report. Well reports say there was a push of birds today and that this week will be one you won't want to miss. Hard to believe with reports like this:

Kohler West, MC Wrote: Small crew for small ducks...2 gunners killed 9 ducks Saturday and the same 2 killers returned Sunday and scored 5 more. BWT & GWT only targets. Surprisingly, the sun did come up in the capital city on Sunday...Big Red fans were dark until noon!
Leshara Ditch (picture), DucksNBrowndogs wrote: Sat 10/17 Saw some teal and big ducks, slow starter only shot to Gadwall. Sun 10/18 No teal around but lots of big ducks willing to work. Mixed bag of 8 ducks, 3 tasty Spoonbill, 3 Gadwall, 1 Wigeon and 1 Pintail.
South Ditch, Nothing on Sunday and apparently missed some opportunities on Geese. Well one goose and one opportunity. As they were out taking care of some bladder pressure issues, a single Can came floating by and all they could do was hold on. Now why they were all out at the same time I'll never know. Just doesn't make sense. Did the coffee hit them all at the same time? Did it just sound like a good idea to stand next to each other and compare? Who knows?

We had ZERO birds at the Ditch over the weekend, no hunters on Sat and Sun was a complete bust. The hundreds of roosting birds at nightfall decided that Sunday was not going to be the day. Did see a lot more bigger ducks. Getting tired of trying...and I mean trying...to hit them damn teal.

The only migration observed today was that of the great Harmonia Axyridis. They invaded the exterior of the house and now that it's nightfall, they've somehow found my ceiling, inside the house! Good thing 'bout it is: at 1221 fps a 3 1/2 inch BBB will take out about 50. Can't get those numbers in any Ditch or field. Happy Shooting!

That's all for now. Check back for the latest and greatest and thanks for over 15,000 hits. The Harmonia Axyridis is also known as an Asian Beetle, or perhaps you refer to it as that beetle that looks like a lady bug that just appeared out nowhere about 5 years ago.
