RE: Ducks?
In Texas Panhandle - bagged three ducks all year. Average about 60-75. Just too hot here in Texas this year. Christmas day it was 65 degrees and sunny. Not exactly great conditions. We didn't even go out. Last year it was 10 degrees and sleeting.
Kindof makes a person regret spending a lot of money on decoys and a new layout blind!
There's always next year though
