2nd opener week is usually the thriller for me for variety. Opening week is also good on local birds. 

I agree, November is already on the down swing. 

I have to put in for my vacation next year already. So what week is the biggest week for migration? I always used to take the first two weeks of November but in the past few years that seems too late. What are your thoughts? Anyone keep any records throughout the years? I live in southeast Wisconsin.

I was on the "X" today.  I wish they came in like this during the regular duck season....or came this close.  Lol

Took a walk around the farm, merganser on the river. 

Sandhills migration,  but pulled the field blocks what do see?

Speckle bellies, yep laughing geese are here..

Cacklerers will always be behind,  and Rosses..

Love the white geese. 

Suspended musky, I've shot white wing and surf scoter out of two rivers, but there always young immature birds too 

Nice birds BW.  Although I shot some surf scoters in WI this year, none were that nice.  

Pic of my scoter dekes returning from a late season, open water WI hunt this year (my best looking WI scoters this season...lol).

Another bird for the taxidermist.   Massachusetts season ends In January. 

nice bird watcher !! when does the season end?

Season still going strong. A few from today.

Last duck hunt in Wisconsin for me this year. Ended on a good day.  Headed to Massachusetts to chase some bigger ducks.
