I have an older friend that his group just returned from hunting in SK. It's the most ducks that he has ever seen. An old timer in the group has hunted up there for 60 years now - and he said it was the most ducks that he has ever witnessed up there. DU said the nesting rate was phenomenal this year. And being what they saw, they have to agree.
Now whether any of those ducks get into MN yet this fall has yet to be seen, but it sure would be sweet if they did.
Good hunting everyone.
