i have only been hunting for 3 yrs. but up around settles ford there was alot of birds taken this year. but this is the first yr. that it has flooded. i got my limit 5 or 6 times this yr. along with others i have talked to. shot some ring necks, maganzers, redheads, buffle heads and others out there. not a bad day on the tail end of the warm up on the 1st. got one shy of the limit. good luck next yr. looking forward to it
