Sorry to say , you may have missed them , I am in SE Missouri ..(almost Arkansas) , and we too have tons of Ducks.....one small wade and shoot area here is currently holding over 30,000 ducks...( Otter Slough near Dexter MO...) people have been limiting every day since the season opened.......also flooded rice fields are great...so are floodway ditches...
hope a late group heads your way ......
