Harvest estimates have been released!
 

FWS has issued the hunter activity and harvest report for 2009/10 season... duck numbers are down again as are goose numbers.

You can get the report at:

If you want to play with the data, you can also use the harvest report generator app to view trends from 1961-2009.

Tahnks for posting this info. I only started hunting waterfowl 2 years ago so I had no point of reference to know what is good duck hunting especially in the swamplands and susquehanna river that i hunt in Pa. Last season blew, that's all I know. Hopefully this year will be better.
Makes me wonder what effect this oil spill will have on the migrating birds into the Gulf. I heard there is an attempt being made to redirect the birds from that area. Seems like that would be harder than fixing the leak itself, we're still waiting on that final outcome 3 months later.
