Still killing plenty of ducks in Southern Illinois. The latest areial survey shows about 30,000 ducks (mostly Mallards) in Union Co. and Horseshoe Lake. Our season goes out on the 22nd, so hope they stick around till then.

Well, this is my first season, so I don't really have a comparison, but everyone I've talked to said this is a reallybad season. I've only been killing wood duck drakes. I can't wait for a good season.

I'm hunting in N.E. Louisiana and this has been the worst season I have ever had. No water. We got about two inches of rain last night so I'm going to check out my spot today and see if I can salvage a little hunting for the last two weekends. Warm dry weather has killed most hunters this year. If you pumped water you had a pretty decent season. I've been hunting my place since 1995 and have never seen it near this dry. I always have water, but not this year. Most of the ducks have headed back up north because of the unusually warm weather.(60's and 70's just about every day since mid Dec.)
