This morning I took the wife and a girl friend of hers (from Jackson) on a swamps tour. This was on the lower Pearl River. Today's date is May 26. We saw a mature Red Head drake swimming in the river. I wouldn't have believed it if I had not seen it with my own eyes! Jack

Shoot them sprigs on their first pass!

Must be lost or his elevator does not go all the way to the top.

Well that duck sounds lost to me but I have heard the the water level up north is low and the ducks dont have many places to go.

I dont know if its coincidental or not but there seems to be a lot of ducks stayed south this year. When i pulled the water off my rice field/duckhole around the 1st of April, there were SEVERAL hundred mallards and several hundred mixed ducks on it. I've noticed several mamas with little ducks over on my lake. I was down at the camp last weekend working and noticed 20-25 mallards in the hole there. In all I've seen a lot of ducks still here that I have never noticed before this year. Kinda figured they were so late coming down it was too late to go north to nest. I even saw some go down in a dry wheat field like they were nesting there.
Who knows??

Could be a wounded bird that can't fly.

If they hang around, maybe the season will be good early??

have two questions.....

where can i find the duck you saw....

and where can i find your wifes friend from jackson....

all in good fun,,,
