Our lease in Mississippi did us well. We harvested 177 Ducks and 6 Geese. If our field had not frozen 3 inches thick the first 3 weekends in January, who knows how many more would have been harvested.
I always read how if you bust a hole in your flooded field, the ducks will come in to your open water. The experience we had was the exact opposite. When your field is 3 inches thic in ice, the birds know it, and do not come to the area. It was obvious from thousands of birds in the Sky to 10's of birds in the sky.
The last 5 days after the thaw were incredible.
We enjoyed a great season of great hunts, terrible hunts, but all with great fellowship.
