Hey ya'll,
This week in DU news: Ducks Unlimited Chief Scientist, Dale Humburg reports that this hunting season could be one of extremes. From weather to duck migrations, he expects the 2012-2013 year to be one for the recordbooks, either good or bad. Humburg explains that the mild and dry winter from last year could carry over to this season, causing ducks to never leave their nesting grounds of the Prarie Pothole region, and never make it to the "Good Ol' Boys" down South. But, with record duck numbers this year, if we are blessed with a cold winter- that could mean a bang-up year for us southern hunters. Duck hunting success in the South really depends on one thing: Mother Nature. If she decides to let the mild temperatures of summer and fall carry over to winter, Mississippians might as well head to the deer stand until late January, when you will catch a few migrating ducks passing through. If she decides to call on her distant relative "Old Man Winter", then grab your guns and hold on boys it might get interesting!
Anyways, enough about that; I could ramble on for days about hunting season. In other news, the Grenada County Chapter of DU has announced that they will hold their annual banquet/dinner on September 29, 2012 at 6:00 P.M. at "The Hanger."
Well, thats all for this week folks. As always, I have included links to more news stories for DU at the bottom of the page.
Have a Good Week,
Scott
