I bet the hunters in Kansas are pounding the snot out of the ducks right now. There has to be a lot of birds to our north.

Saw ten ducks in the distance......bagged 2 doves, 1 lesser Canada and 30lb beaver lol. Could not call the dog off either, couldn't believe he brought it back. Sunrise was worth the trip though.View attachment 149497 View attachment 149498

From what I've seen on FB groups it's hit or miss in Kansas like us. Nebraska guys talk like they're not even peak migration yet.
Well considering a large portion of Nebraska is closed for duck season, they may not be shooting any of them. LOL
I'm guessing as usual there are spots in Nebraska (especially out west) you can pound the Mallards late in the season as this is not uncommon, but we are well past peak migration here on the east side of the state. They only ducks I am seeing in any great numbers is Mallards and Goldeneye. VERY few puddle ducks of any other form. That tells me we are well past peak here along the Missouri river corridor.
I think all the water and wet summer we had has really spread them out and they aren't as concentrated as usual. However this warm weather up here has certainly kept some of the Mallards from moving south that might otherwise go that way. That being said we always have plenty of mallards that simply don't go any further south than this.
Do you think more mallard spend the winter there now than in years past? I thought there was a January season in NE?
