I wouldnt count on seein any new birds, unless it snows up north and everything freezes up. I am hangin it up, this has been one of the worst seasons so far. No ducks, No geese, and No deer around this area. At least the fishing is decent.

Theres several places you could drive right now and see plenty of them. We saw Widgeon and a Drake Woody last night. Not to mention the Specks and Snows that are still around. VERY DEPRESSING.

I'm going to say no on the new birds. Just hoping the fly a little lower in the wind and rain this p.m. hopefully get a couple to take a look and stay for dinner.

Going to give it another shot in the morning on the river for some honkers. Got pretty windy yesterday mid morning but if the birds were below the tree line they didn't have to work to hard to fly.
