What is it exactly you're forecasting?
Isn't that exactly what the government would say if they wanted us to think that they weren't the government?Fowlcast said:3. No we are not the government.
This is the chidt that is ruining the sport. Why does everything have to have a pro-staff? What is the benefit of being a "pro" information updater? Are you actually trying to get stupid people to work for you? Because thats the type of person who responds well to the promise of a pro-staffing position.Fowlcast said:5. We'll be looking for prostaffers. People to help us update the page with state season dates & links to regs etc. But for now we are just looking for people to start filling out the journal, your use of the journal & the number of times you use it will help us determine who is serious about becoming a prostaffer.

Who wound you up? lolgo get the bird said:Honestly, I think you have a better chance at predicting lottery numbers than predicting flight behavior, especially without actually scouting. This only encourages weekend-warriors to know less and less about the sport they are participating in.
People are so f*****g lazy.

Not wound, just think this is a cyber-scouting mission of epic peoportions wrapped in a guise good intentions.OHIODUCKA5 said:Who wound you up? lolgo get the bird said:Honestly, I think you have a better chance at predicting lottery numbers than predicting flight behavior, especially without actually scouting.

When I see or hear the term "pro staffer", my mental thesaurus immediately registers "homosexual" and "queer" as synonyms.pirogue said:Amusing. 'pro staffers' ? waterfowl 'teams'?
Nothing is free young man. Just because you don't have a use fee doesn't mean it's 'free'. Had a kid at Best Buy try that line on me the other day on an iPhone 6. We drilled in a little, it weren't 'free'.Fowlcast said:It is a neat thing, thanks for looking! People are not paying for it, I'll say it again it's completely free. The more people that use it the better the data.HNTFSH said:Will the details be available on if I can sleep a little later the day I picked to go based on your forecast? Like what times the birds will fly over my blind? And estimate of how high they are would be helpful too. I blow like hell but can't get those birds 4 miles up to commit to nuthin!
And don't forget to answer my question about how people are paying for this neat thing.
Now regarding your first question: We are working on it, maybe you go out that evening instead of that morning based on an anticipated weather change or what is happening 100miles N. of you. Fowlcast will record the cloud ceiling known as CIG http://w1.weather.gov/glossary/index.php?word=CEILING when you log a journal. That way when you log a journal entry that has lots of opportunities and is ranked "best" you can use that as one piece of all the pieces we are recording to know that you had a great day afield. & If the CGI is low on that day we take that into consideration so the next time those proverbial "stars line up, you can get your butt out of bed".
PS if your blowing birds at 4miles up your probably hunting on wrong days. The next time you go out and stare at a blue sky and not see a bird you can think. Crap maybe that Fowlcast was on to something.
As I said, we love the haters!
We've got nothing to lose.
Can choad balding be the admin? Who in their right mind give out waterfowl locations to strangers.Fowlcast said:Okay I get it some don't like the "Pro Staff" signature no problem. We'll change it. Ideas?
Simply put, we are two technical guys who love duck hunting & have put a lot of time & effort in building a resource for people to use. The only notifications you'll get are the ones you want. Right now there are none. Period.
We are working on modeling a waterfowl forecast system that uses all the publically available data up and down the flyways to determine where the birds in your region. We are overlaying that with weather data that moves birds south & dozens of other environmental data that may positively or negatively impact your day out duck hunting. The data is out there we are simply putting it together in hopes to help better pick a day to go out hunting.
I am out every weekend during the Illinois season, If I am only going to go out one day out of the weekend & spend the rest of the day with the family I'd like to use more than just weather to make my decision.
If you spend a few minutes & fill out your journal each time you can also see your historical stats. Shots taken, birds bagged, & know where & when you did the best that time last year.
Don't knock it till you try it!

I was thinking the same thing as I read this. I get one day a week to hunt. Saturday. We don't allow Sunday hunting in Maine and I'm gong to hunt all day Saturday whether anything is flying or not.CaptainLyter said:I think ducks unlimited has a migration app and this site already has state forums for regional cyber scouting before you take a drive......
