How were the bird numbers in YOUR area this year?
I hunt the Devils Lake area of ND mostly, with the exception of the special spring "snow goose only" season, in which I'll travel all over the state to get on snow geese on their northern migration.
I noticed a lot less ducks this year (still plenty to hunt, but that's because we're right in the flyway - but noticeably less) and a fairly fast migration (when there were lots of ducks here, they were gone quickly - and not due 100% to cold weather which is usually the case for them to leave).
I had one of my best goose years ever, but ducks were down. How about the rest of you?
