Counting down...

**skrimp** · 08-23-2012, 09:44 AM

38 days and lots of ducks will die.

35 days for me. Lots of teal still up here and thats what I will be targeting until they leave. Can't beat a good teal breast.

Green-winged teal (+221 percent) above LTA were at record highs
Wigeon (+88 percent) above LTA
4.8 million birds, up 16 percent from last year and 112 percent above the long-term average (1948-2011).
Mallards, gadwall, blue-winged teal, shovelers, redheads and ruddy ducks exceeded the long-term average by more than 100 percent.
Only pintails, shovelers and canvasbacks were down more than 10 percent from last year
The 2012 index is the third highest on record.

Are we still going? With all the corn problems and all??????

Shut your filthy mouth.

**MolliesMaster** · 08-24-2012, 09:10 PM

Yea. Y'all probably shouldn't even bother with coming up this way. Rumor has it that they are just gonna cancel the season.

Not to NoDak as it will probably nothing but a speed trap for the wardens with all the baited fields. Our plan B should be good to go though.

I am heading out to ND the first week of October. It shoudl be great.

**mudflat** · 08-28-2012, 09:42 AM

Flying or driving? For those flying what route/cost?

**Capt. Tom** · 08-28-2012, 08:05 PM

Sure would be nice to fly, but it just wouldn't seem the same without watching skrimp break land speed records and curse at people in each state from here to there.

**romeocadet08** · 08-28-2012, 08:08 PM

Bwahahaha

**MolliesMaster** · 08-28-2012, 08:15 PM

Y'all better start hoping for some colder weather. 100 degrees today and tomorrow. I could have stayed in sc for this shit.

**Capt. Tom** · 08-28-2012, 08:17 PM

Who would hope for such a thing.............

Sounds fine to me. Limits of ducks in the a.m. and drinking beer in shorts and flip flops by noon like last year. You don't need "ducky" weather to shoot ducks the first two weeks of the season in ND. Not when you hunt where they are hatched.

Hey, I resemble that remark! I have my happy pills now so you will have to find other entertainment.
