Can it be 71, sunny, and very windy one day and 25 the next day with thunderstorms in the morning, freezing rain in the afternoon, and snow tomorrow night.. The local NWS says that we could see up to a 1/4 in. thick ice tomorrow, which will make my fire dept. very busy tomorrow. On the otherhand I'm sure it will push in some new geese and ducks! :)

Hopefully some birds will move down to KS. We had 1/4 inch of ice the other day and the high for Wed is 12....
Keep your eyes open for birds.

We are lookin forward to the last push of Geese down the "late season" flyways. Should be a TON of birds pushing into the Kansas area.

They have been stacking up on the Platte since Sunday morning. I'd almost say more snows then canadas. Zero ducks though. All the ducks we had up to Saturday afternoon are now gone.

There are a good number of resident birds starting to hit the fields in SE KS and NE OK. I saw about 200 Canadas in a field last night about a 1/2 mile from the house and 150 Mallards and 50 honkers on the pond behind my place. This week and w/e should be awesome!!! :D

We have the same thing going on here in Nevada. It went from 68 degrees and sunny to a low of 10 degrees last night and ice. We have new birds moving in from Idaho but a lot of our old birds are on their way out. It will make for some awesome hunting for sure. We are headed out tomorrow to try and shoot a mallard hole. They should be there.
Good Hunting!

Just got back from from my morning hunt ... and yes, this is a major push! Saw probably between 30-40 good sized groups of geese way high ... didnt see as many migrating ducks, but still 5-6 big groups.
I also think that the ducks I hunted this morning are old ducks ducks, as they circled and circled and never would quite commit all the way. I tried changing spreads ... took out the robos ... and still struggled to kill my limit. Im hoping the ducks are right behind the geese, as I will be back out tommorow morning!!

I thought the weather only made those kind of changes here in Arkansas. We are anticipating a push of birds from this front system. It is supposed to get here tomorrow and we are gonna head out and do a little hunting on friday and try and get a good shoot before the weekend boys roll in. Glad to hear that there is for sure a push in front of the storm. Good luck all.

Zach and I managed to scratch out 5. Should've had limits but we were landing them looking for bands. No sooner than we picked up it started snowing and the birds were heading there in full force. We plan on hitting it up again tom. since we're supposed to get 8-15 in. of snow. Saw many migrators today, mainly canadas and snow geese. Saw limited amount of ducks but the geese sure are here! You gotta love the weather :)

You guys should be seein a ton of new birds down there. Almost everything here in South Dakota are now froze up and i could hear birds flying over all night last night. It looks like our season is about done for except for a few hardy ducks and geese still hanging around. Good luck guys.

I think we might have got 5-6 in. on top of the ice we also received. This is the biggest push of birds I have seen in a long time. All the geese(including migrators wanted to go to the country club (may have to take a golf club out and go band hunting). They didn't head to our field until about 10 a.m. but you should see around 5 in. of snow and maybe some ice. Zach called and said he shot 6 greenheads tonight.

He went out with 3 of his roommates and another kid I work with. I didn't want to make the 15 mile drive because it was/is still snowing.

5 guys shooting 6 green heads is a lot different then Zach shooting 6 green heads. Thanks for the clarification.;) I'm sure he appreciates the clarification also.
