I have seen good numbers of local mallards and with the low water year it should make them very concentrated. Which is good and bad. Still hoping for some rain or atleast a bigger snow year. Last year was great for me because of the mild winter and the freeze thaw cycles kept the birds in the valley.

Goose hunters are the worst of the crazies. Who in their right mind would lay down in the middle of a field in the middle of a snow storm surrounded by 100 or so plastic replicas of a goose waiting for a chance to bag one as a flock is back winging 10' above the ground 30 feet in front of them.
I predict that my spot will be loaded with birds all season because I won't be able to go very much. I am staying home most of the season to take care of my new son who is gonna show up sometime the end of Sept. So guys post up a ton of pictures!

My buddy and I often joke about it when we are hiking out to our spot at like 4 in the morning in waders, packing gear. "we do all this work to shoot a few ducks"
Probably like the last 20 years, wake up make some breakfast.. Throw a bag of decoys on the quad.. Quarter mile drive to the creek from the house.. Toss em' out and start stacking every weekend November through January mornings like this..
