Blind is covered,decoys are rigged and ready, blind bag is packed and calls are tuned.
I went out last night to an area that I always love to watch in the evenings at this time of the year just to get an idea of how many birds are around.
In years past I would see between 50-75 ducks.
This year I saw between 300 to 400 birds almost all of them were Blue-winged Teal.
Last week while on vacation traveling through Wisconsin and Michigan I saw a lot of geese probably locals.
There were guys lay-out boat hunting the bays of Lake Superior
and guys hunting the Mississippi.
I spoke to several and the reports were good.

I kicked up a flock of 11 Blue Winged Teal off of a pond that I manage yesterday.

Got a few more weeks than you do FD, but I just ordered my boat blind the other day...going to try hunting water more this year and see how that works for me. We have a few geese around but not many
