Could be all of the mentioned causes. I myself would move to another site to hunt. Just because things are slow one place doesn`t mean they are slow elsewhere. I don`t know how migratory wood duck are but I don`t think any migrations are in yet.

Some might like the geese stick around all winter and summer. Some of it too may be due to cross breeding with other types of ducks including domestics. I've seen some really weird combination's in the past few years. One thing is for certain the Beaver Creek area all along it has been developed. That likely was a larger cause than hunting pressure. I don't know of too many people who hunt ducks anymore.

There were some duck hunters out at the forks of the river when I went dove hunting. Heard some shots from the river. I agree I think it`s more development than hunting pressure.

They'll snap back and adapt. If deer can ducks can.

Yea and a lot of them look like domestic crosses which could explain a lot too. People started keeping domestic ducks around as pets rather than food or turning them loose in the wild when they got bored with them.

Yea I can imagine. My last trip up past Cove Lake I saw some real strange ones also. A biologist would have a field day trying to identify them.
