The weather is going to dictate when the ducks migrate. The past several years have been mostly warmer than normal and the migration has been poor, Here in S. Indiana the season has been open since Thanksgiving and I haven't even looked at my hunting gear yet. However, I've seen seasons in which everything was froze up by now and the duck hunting was zip. The seasons are about as late as they need to be because they are beginning to pair up for the spring. If you're going to be in this sport, you have to take the good with the bad. :tounge: :tounge:
