4) It will be too warm
4b) It will be too cold
Good luck Waterfowlers, I love reading your threads 
We are a different breed, especially the dedicated ones. 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" 
Really doesnt have all that much to do with killin ducks for me.
I fooled'em a few days ago, I didn't do worth a darn yesterday, question is always, can I fool'em today. In otherwords, it's the challenge.
Another big draw is that I get to watch my dogs work most days. Plus I can be successful everyday from mid Oct through end of Jan.
Over here on the far east side of the state, I figure if you have access to big water or fields near by, you could have a great season. Birds will be pretty concentrated. Most of the pot holes that water fowl have roosted on in years past will be bone dry by oct. There are pot holes better than 6 acres that I have never seen dry in nearly 30 yrs, totally dried up with grass growing in what was once the bottom of the hole. Was down at Lake Roosevelt yesterday and it is drawn down to springtime levels.
Could be a real challenge.
