Still tons of ducks in this area, the big lakes are full of birds. Season is in across the river till middle of January. I should buy my new Canadian license and start hunting after January 1st but probably won't.

We have had an abnormally dry year (severe drought) and so the prairies have not been holding birds. The coastal marsh has been good all year and my Grandson and I got to go after Thanksgiving and did pretty good. Should have limited out, but our shooting was a bit off, but seeing my 14 yr old Gson having fun hunting ducks is what it's all about.

Absolutely no doubt it's different in Nova Scotia this year. There are fewer blacks around but acting oddly from other years. Whistlers only a few compared to hundreds in our small harbour other years. Geese the same. Always with duck hunting, though, I've been the only shooter hereabouts sometimes and out of my blind 15 minutes after daylight while all the others don't get a shot. My nephew last week had blacks coming ones and twos and could have killed 50. As always, too, I keep hoping before year's end current colder weather will send birds our way.

Big lake is full of ducks by all reports. Couple friends have been hunting and shooting them up every time they go. Too late in the year for me to think about buying a license. Maybe after Jan. 1st who knows.

Still very slow in my neck of the woods too as far as ducks go. |

Thank you Pete. Yes there are checkered cheek panels. I have a back log of letter requests, but am looking forward to seeing how this one checks out. It shoots quite well as well.

Well it's supposed to get cold, which'll be nice. Push some birds down our way, or so we hope
