Hello again all my technologically advanced and well connected waterfowl enthusiast friends. Been quite a while since our last post, and judging by the hit counter, most of you are wondering what in the heck is going on.
This years "chase" is a bit undetermined at this point. Over the last week, there had been large numbers of speck and can's migrating back. We had yet to see or hear of any large numbers of snows moving in, up until the last couple days that is. Had heard of snows by the thousands west of here, grand island area and west. That don't do us a whole lot of good. Yesterday I did hear of large numbers flying high around Valley but have yet to see any along the missouri river. We were pulling out the feather dusters, seeing if the waders had any winter rot, and talking about just what our investment level would be this year when mother nature threw us a screw-ball. As we look outside snow covers the ground at about 1/2 inch or so. The wind is now from the North and the temps are barely above freezing. I'd say that's just about right considering the Fall season and how screwed up it was. The chase has been put on hold for right now as this weather is just not cooperating. We'll be back here now until the end. We only get a couple good days in the spring and our best efforts will be put forth.
Did hear of a group of guys that rolled South to Missouri for 3 days. Their trip was cut short after the 3 days when they had just 15 birds in the bag. Hoping for much, much more I'm sure but that tell's me they're not quite here yet.
That's all for now, check back for the latest and greatest and thanks for all the hits!
