Do you think with the forecasted weather some birds will be pushed down our way?

fairbanks has been freezing for 2 weeks now in the teens and lower. they packed up, crusing at 3000 ft. depends on how many diners they want to eat at.

I think we are too early still for much of a migration. Give it another month or so then it is game on!  :mgun:

Around Thanksgiving everything heats up because the word is out.  However in the Basin...Potholes Reservoir, etc., usually you can set your clock for early migrating birds, plus or minus Veterans Day, the 11th of November.  Good time to be out as most are not yet, as they are waiting on the news.  For what it's worth. :twocents:

Had a good shoot today and pretty sure we are starting to get a few new migrants in.  MAinly Pins and Wigeon.  Shot two Drake Pins today that were HUGE.  Full color minus the pins of course.  Also shot a full color Wigeon.  Really nice for this time of year.
