Wigeons

Like, you know, first time we hunted the Bear River, Nathan and I went down there.

The Wigeon migration is incredible.

I've never seen anything like it for Wigeons.

When they come in, and you know how Wigeons are, they just flat out give it up.

It can be fast and furious and a lot of fun.

Um, you know, not a lot of pintails.

What about agriculture, Joey? There's got to be some agriculture out there that are helping to sustain these ducks.

There's got to be some harvested cornfields.

Got a whole bunch of new ducks in, though.

Widgen, gadwall, pintail, spoonbill showing up, right? Ring necks, really lots of different things starting to show up across the state.

Lots of mixed bags from our contributors, which is a ton of fun.

uh that front did the job that it was supposed to do we got it pushed and brought some new ducks in which is amazing uh we do have all those woodies that were there at the start of the year they're starting to move out not a lot of wood duck talk going on anymore um The other thing here right water wise still water is a big factor really across the entire state.

We got some Hellasius fucking Mallard or...

Mallard, Pentel, and Widgen, let's just call it duck, field duck shoots on camera.

I got some real good footage.

And I'll be posting some of that up as I have time to sift through them.

Early in the week, the WSI predicts a good movement of green wings into the Pacific and central flyways, out of the southern latitudes of Saskatchewan and moving for places farther south.

There is a pretty similar story for Widgen and Shoveler, whereas Pentails and Gadwall are staying put other than trickling out of the most northern areas.

Mallards and black ducks are still just sitting tight.

Again, some early season photoperiod driven movement is happening.

If they didn't need another three more, it could have been Fidgeon, Midgeon.

I think if I was the Wigeon, I'd feel a bit short-changed.

Do you know what

I mean? Although maybe the Wigeon came before the pigeon.

Who knows?

That's true.

We don't know, do we?

Do you want to hear the two N's for the Wigeon?
