Have you seen the forecast?!?! An otherwise boring and disappointing duck season in the south has a glimmer of hope with 21 days remaining. Severe weather passed through the region today, with nice January temperatures in the mid-60s. Apparently it’s April and not January, but it looks like the weather will remember the correct month in a next few days. The forecast calls for a great cold front to move through mid-week dropping night time temps into the teens and highs in the 40s. Not perfect duck weather by any stretch, but much better for Georgia.
The rain the last week has opened up new bodies of water across the region and raised water levels in the bigger bodies of water. This will make hunting challenging until the new birds arrive. The local birds have scattered into new areas and spread out. Finding large flocks or rafted ducks isn’t very likely right now. It is going to take checking small pockets, coves, and doing a lot of scouting to have some success. Don’t get discouraged though. Some of our best days always tend to be at the end of the season. Hang in there, keep scouting, and keep going! We won’t find ducks by sitting in our recliners!!!
