[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 65009, member: 816"] they are definitely harder to pattern. it used to be you find where they are the night before, go there the next morning and shoot a limit. i am seeing what i think might be more of a social gathering of ducks in the evening the last few years. they will gather by the thousands in a dirt black field at sunset, hang out for 30 minutes and then head back to the water or maybe someplace else to feed. every once in a while and especially early in the season, the regular patter holds true. but, not like it used to be. the other more common theme now seems to be a late morning feed and a night feed in different spots. they will return to the same spot at night that they were the night before. but, don't head to that same spot in the morning. anyway... on the duck season thingy. i've got no explanation for the high plains season closing for a week. but, i also have no explanation for why they close the rest of the state before the high plains zone either. if the ducks are still here, why can't we still shoot them. what makes the high plains ducks any more or less worthy of being shot than those ducks in the rest of the state? case in point... devils is still wide open. we have tens of thousands of big beautiful green heads and many thousands of honkers hanging out still. honker season is open til the 24th. it sure would be nice to be able to shoot the greenies along with the honkers as long as they are still here. what's the point of closing the season this early? close it the same time we close honker season and/or the high plains season. if things freeze up before the season ending date comes, then the ducks will leave and the season will have closed itself. i ain't much for mounting fowl on the wall. but, there are some giant ducks around here right now and i would love to spend a few more weeks trying to figure them out and maybe put one on the wall finally.
