😆Just thinking that ammo being expensive, I could line em up and really put the hurt on em!

Seems early, but who knows. I usually don't see little ones for a few more weeks. Hopefully all this rain didn't flood any others out if they had nested.

I just hope the DU finds more ducks this year. People jump off bridges when their portfolios crash like ducks have over the past 3 years. Mallards down 19% since 2019, things have to turn asap fingers crossed.

Natural drought cycles likely play into the decline in recent years, and the bounce back post-drought can be strong...so no need to jump off bridges yet:

In terms of Eastern Wa mallards....
...park your truck near a corn-pond complex around sundown in Nov. or Dec. You will have no more doubt where all the mallards have gone.
