Check the no.s on Grand Pass CA (Mo.). Typically it peaks at 100K birds. This year they reported 280K+ and maybe more (they were having trouble counting them) after the season closed. I don't know anything about why or when ducks move but I believe that the people who study them for a living don't ...

For what it's worth-our duck season was no banner year(middle zone of Mo.) The no. zone had record no.s all season and even more after.The south zone was excellent late.North zone opened last weekend of Oct. South zone closed Jan. 20. In Mo. we can have substantially more than 60 days if we travel.

Al- Try getting you're news from somewhere besides Rush Limbaugh .

Let's go back to the premise. It refered to 95 to 98% of this forum being in favor of Bush because they made more than 100k. My point was that this was a result of conservative upbringing and conservative peers, not a result of financial success. I never made reference to education or race. I ...

I work on construction so I already know that I am dumb,stupid,and don't know how to spell. You are from a conservative state in the bible belt,so most people hold conservative views and I think that is a fair statement.

Bufflehead-'stupid white men' was a reference to a book by Michael Moore, not a shot at any particular individual. Thanks for promoting Gephardt to the senate, I thought Mo. had two republican senators (Bond & Talent).

Get your head out of the sand boys-the money boys will destroy the environment for a nickel. Bush is one of the money boys-bottom line.

Bush probably will carry Ms. because the blacks won't vote and the stupid white men will.

Yo-Benny--I knew it! A southern democrat is almost a republican anyway. Those of you who despise the word 'liberal' please note that it is derived from the root word meaning freedom. Allow yourself the freedom to think for yourself and not blindly follow your peers.

Yo Benny-no way are you from the great state of Ms!

We have lots of ducks up here ,but they are smart ones. No new ducks since the first part of Nov. Migrations are occurring north of here - northern Mo. is loaded up. won't be long Ihope.
