Scouted our duck hole from 2 weeks ago, and they were plugged in there. Huge flights of birds in the area at high tide.

Yesterday, they were gone.

The ducks we hunt on the opener are widgeon, teal and pintails that come to our area to feed on a certain type of grass. I don't know if they ate it all, or migrated out. It could be that there wasn't much of it because of the crappy summer.

Oh well. I guess I will lower my expectations to a couple of local mallards and maybe a goose for this year.
