Word is we're mostly seeing 3+ year old birds this year. This makes for a smarter more weary bird. If next years hatch doesn't improve we're in for a moratorium.
If you are hunting tomorrow, and are looking for a hunting buddy, I am you man.

In Warton (is that how you spell it?) today with Summitcty and other friends. It was a long day but we made it happen
I’d post my picture but I’m an idiot and haven’t figured out how to post to MDS but it was a great day and a fun time.
Nothing better than sitting in a blind with a group that enjoys each other’s company and equally enjoys busting each other’s balls for no reason other than it seems like a good thing to do.
Never knew there were any hunters or fishers out there that did not equally enjoy busting each other's nether regions for no reason whatsoever other than it seeming like a good thing to do. I really thought all hunting and fishing was done like that. You mean to tell me there are some people out there hunting and fishing that do not bust each other's nether regions for no apparent reason? Say it ain't so. lol

^I think the ones on either side are red breasted mergansers. But the one at 6:00 looks different. I'm not sure what it is though because of the level of detail in the image. It looks like some sort of hen diving duck.
Can we waterfowl on Sundays?

I and three other boats got big skunks on the river on Saturday. There just aren't any birds around
Just spoke with someone who hunts a PRIME spot at the top of the Bohemia River. They killed over 300 geese last season at a single A frame field blind.
This year? 17 (seventeen). I'm talking about lifelong waterfowl hunters, two of which were guides for many years. The location is sick, we killed birds last year with people out picking up cripples, dog running around, birds upside down on the ground, (over primarily V boards mind you)...none of it mattered.
The birds that are here are smart, non-committal and finish very weary of at all. They might as well close the season next year.
Snows had a bad hatch and are nothing but mature wary birds as well. It was hard hunting even in Canada in September. I'm currently sitting in a blind but not much flying today. Saw about twenty at 0900 but nothing since. River was a war zone earlier so someone got into the ducks. Hopefully we get some new birds pushed down with this North wind.
