Yep, 5 batches of specks flew over (higher than hell) on walk yesterday with the pooch. No intention on settling in anywhere.

Were you taking a leak outside when the supposed laughing occurred?
Haha not this time. The dog sat down started looking up then I heard them. Pretty sure they were the ones that punked me out about 10 times last year.

actually found some northern mallards to hunt this weekend and some lesser canadas in area so they must be trickling in my area.
How do you know there Northern Ducks. I was hunting late season yrs ago and had some Mallards came in. I knocked 2 down and they were both banded. Both had leg band and one had a triangle on one side and square on the other side of it bill. Going thru it nostrils. Both were banded at Arrowhead refuge North of Jamestown N.D. of June that yr.


My point is they only migrated about 80 miles south and it was mid November.

That would be a northern duck since north of me as I said. Also in huge flocks which we didn't have 2 months ago. Not too hard to determine that.
