How's everyone season going so far? Have seen less birds it seems like in east Georgia.

Had a descent number of woodies two weeks ago, but have seen no new birds since then (except a pair of unlucky black ducks)

Just wondering how the rest of the state is doing/what y'all are seeing.

Lots of divers, lots of wood ducks, a single green wing drake, two old squaws, 2 shovelers, a widgeon drake, and a lot of mallards. I've seen more birds than any other season.

Nice, haven't had as much success as you guys, but I would assume it should get good with how cold is it getting.

You are right had a buddy see 8 pintails this morning, but they only dropped a hen.

Piles of wood ducks have moved in our river swamp. Past 2 mornings we've killed 3 man limits in less that 15 minutes. This weekend should be good pretty much all over the south.

Thanks the Lord, he sent us some ducks this morning. Seems like the mallards showed up overnight.

Cool how the freezing cold up north can bring some ducks down to our neck of the woods.

Coastal SC was slow yesterday morning, but reports of mallards showing up in the upper part of state today. I would imagine that would mean birds beginning to arrive in GA as well.

Is this why I haven't been able to find any wheat within driving distance of me to plant a late plot of wheat???
