You must have all the birds in the southwest. The southeast is void, even the local ducks have vanished. I seen about a dozen total this past weekend and nothing in range.

Hunted down in Pecan Island last Sunday and Monday with pretty good results. We shot 13 on Sunday and 8 on Monday mostly teal and scaup with a bonus green head. Hunting later is definitely the ticket as most of the ducks we shot both days were between 9 and 11 in the morning
