Default Where are the Ducks?
We went to our marsh in Johnson Bayou Friday and saw thousands of ducks. Saturday morning we only shot 5. I have talked with others who say they saw thousands of ducks all last week but struggled on Saturday. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you think the rain storm we had Friday night moved the ducks out? Do you think they went south to Mexico or north to the once dry fields? I am at a loss for what happened!

Frustrated,

Latt

Those ducks must be a ways down Dennis Rd. My wife was raised on the little farm on the corner of Dennis Rd. and Hwy. 378 (her parents, Dennis and Helen Broussard still live there). I happened to marry the only girl from Kaplan who's family don't have ducks on their property. At least I had some on my lease south of Vinton...not many but some.

Today....South of Kaplan we had 3. My father in law hunts with a bud of his in pecan island
This past weekend they hunted 4 blinds (2 in each).....8 total per day...sat 29 & today 23. Usually a day like today (after a front with big north wind)and especially it being opening of split they always hammer them.

They've eaten about 1/2 the grass out of my ponds. They must have been in there thick during the split. Sure did make for fun hunting during the 2nd opener!
