I ended the month with 6 inches of rain....that is about a third of our average annual! Lots of wheat stubble, crops, and roads underwater and young ducks abundant. Mostly dabblers, but quite a few redheads and ringnecks. Should fatten up quickly and be worth shooting when I get back from MB mid-month unless we get some really cold weather. Regardless,it will be time to boat-hunt or pass-shoot migrant divers and try to fill my swan tag.
That has been very difficult around here lately as all my favorite duck lakes are now full of slimy fish and the submerged aquatic plants have all but disappeared.
