Mostly Sunny, No Precipitation – 40-45 Degrees
I spent Sunday morning in the Town of Lisle and saw ZERO ducks what so ever! Geese however were a constant. On the return trip I drove past a good sized pond in the Town of Chenango and saw quite a few mallards and even a few blacks. I would have to say, I don’t think The “Massive Migration” that has been predicted is quite underway yet. still optimistic !

Had a great time with the Wood Ducks over the weekend. We got our limit both days. Saw very few Mallards though & only bag a few,but all in all feels great to be Duck Hunting again.

Just wanted to say you can practice for Duck Season w/ the whole family. My son & I hunt but my daughter & wife have no interest, but we all went the other day & shot Sporting Clays & had great time. My wife & daughter can’t wait to go again, but still don,t understand why you would leave a perfectly warm house to go out & shoot Ducks when it’s 10 degrees. Oh well that’s there loss not mine.
