I predict...

Tue Oct 28, 2014 3:43 pm

.... a "squeeze" of fresh birds today. 8-)

30s in NW MN and in ND rigfht now. And there are snow showers N of Detriot Lakes.

This blustery West wind traditionally is good for MN and should bring any migrants into MN from W and NW of here.

Good luck gentlemen.

You're predicting a small push of ducks migrating in late October after a minor cold front and wind from the NW?

Nice prediction. Way to go out on a limb!

I'm hunting in the Ottertail county area, please tell the ducks to replace their merganser friends.

Based on today's trip wondering why we need to stop at 2 hoodies. They were as thick add red heads have been up until last week.

Talk about going out on a limb. You should go and try it fowler.

A lot more west than north. Will move some birds but not much of a "push"

Fowler doesn't need favorable weather to kill ducks. He's been hammering birds all season!

This morning, I bet he shot 2 drake redheads. 2 drake bluebills, 1 green head, and 1 canvasback, drake of course.

It was sleeting in Wright county even while in the stand tonight. I'm sure I could go kill some birds, but its all about deer until the gun opener, shot plenty of birds already this year

I predict it will be like most other years, ducks will migrate south in the fall. Then back north again in the spring.
