Carl - buffleheads

[KThompson]

They are not just on your end of the state evidently, ha. Been seeing more and more and we decided to go after them yesterday since the bbills were nowhere to be found. Unfortunately had a couple get away in those strong SSE winds.

I saw a bunch up here in new jersey before the ice set in and they where inland a good ways.yr

Very nice!
I should have tripled on the flock that landed in the decoys yesterday, but after the first shot I got kinda flustered, too many targets!
The lack of bluebills really has me down, just don't get it.

 

[KThompson]

yeah, it's not just you, we are usually neck deep in bbills right after Christmas and last year's limit of 4/ea seemed low relative to the numbers we were seeing but... that was last year.

They are thick as Mosquitos were I have been hunting to Kyle. I have enjoyed several Buffy shoots so far. Just as dumb founded as you two about the BBs. Few more redheads than normal though.

Has anyone seen any articles on the drastic decline of scaup on the wintering grounds?? I am a bit worried

 

[Capt Jeff Kraynik]

You know it's getting cold, we shot buffies yesterday morning in east central Florida!!!

Jeff - Are they not very common down there?
Kris - I haven't read anything. If you've found something of substance then please share the link when you get the chance.
