[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 4075459, member: 15643"] At first we thought it was just a couple of warmer than usual winters up north and they just didn't have any reason to fly south if they had open water up there. Then it froze solid up north and they still didn't come....but they were killing the crap out of them in every other corner of the state. We also had less water than I've ever seen in the last 30y. Other than stock tanks for cattle or spring fed ponds, everything was dry, or so shallow that the slightest freeze it would freeze solid. Our 17a pond that's usually a goose roost, hasn't been the last 3y. Shot a handful of ducks over all I think we've hunted it 5 times in 3y and I check it at least once a week for birds. Have other ponds in other counties that were either dry or no birds. Have lots of cut corn and milo to hunt every year also, but no birds. We went from killing several hundred birds a season to two or three dozen lol. We killed 11 on 2 hunts last year, that was the only 2 times we found birds on us out of dozens of places to hunt. Waterfowl guides have also started guiding turkeys, all while turkeys are at an all time low. They're just about extinct around here. Where once I could take you at any time of the day and show you 11 flocks of birds within 10 miles of my house, now there's one and may or may not be seen when we get there. It's bad. [/QUOTE]
