I hate to say it, but no I don't think they are coming in good numbers.
Looking at the 30 day forecast...
Probably some new ducks will trickle down as they search for good food sources late in the season. Just my opinion- everybody's got one about ducks and most all of us are proven wrong with these freaking birds.
I have just enough activity in the lower delta area I hunt to keep me going every now and then.
When I think about my hours on the tractor during the blazing summer and the money spent on lime, fertilizer, millet seed, diesel, gas, etc....
I have to say- I still love it!! Its just what I do to make me happy. Damn the ducks

Well! Aren't you special.

Sorry for the smartazz reply above.
Come to think of it, on Wednesday I did see lots of teal- we shot 1 greenhead, pintails, gads, and couple of shovelers.
I did see two flights of 150+ ducks moving through.
It was hard hunting, and like I said, enough to keep me going back but not great.

If I didn't think the ducks were coming......I wouldn't go hunting every other day to find-out whether I was right or not.......I've just learned not to get my hopes up.......at least, not until the weather patterns originate from Alberta.
I'll just chase the same birds from spot to spot until the rest of'em get here. Maybe they show-up...maybe they won't.......but I don't plan to miss'em when they finally get here.......whenever that might be......this year, next year.....whenever. In the meantime, I'll learn something about how to hunt 'smart' ducks.
