When I trapped for Delta I was out there 123 days trapping. A good job for someone that always enjoyed ducks. "Not Really, Not Really" Mark J Monti "MJM you're a jerk."

We had zero at the house. South of me 100 miles they got a at good rain a couple days ago. Right where I live there is 100+ pair of nesting ducks per square mile. With out grass duck do not nest.

Problem here with low water is we lose all the brood cover to avoid predators. Really need the small shallow sloughs with lots of vegetation.
