West TN Duck Reports

Smashdn said:
An indian friend of mine hunting in arkansas has reported back to our group that many snow geese are dead or dying from something other than non-toxic shot. They have the characteristics of what they tell me is bird flu, won't fly away, can't hold up neck, etc.

Take that government conspiracy for what it is worth to you.

It's not a conspiracy at all. The snows have been dying like that for two years. It's a disease and wasn't nearly as bad this year as it was last year.

It hasn't been seen in any ducks, although the Arkansas game and fish asked you to report any duck suspected of dying from it.
 
Saw mallards (not as confident on the mallards to be fair) snow geese and cranes that looked to be sick in the last 2 weeks. With my own eyes. It's a pretty sad sight to be honest.
Also I'm as pro doge as anybody.
 
I saw some crows in Nofe Nashville, they must've had the flu or something. Dem birds were acting drunk as hell, they'd been drinking out of a whiskey bottle in an alley. Had to be the Bird Flu.
 
I hunt in Western Ky and we had a better season than the past few years. Bird flu was real and we saw it firsthand in the snow geese. Wildlife officers had to kill sick birds on the refuge and pick them up to keep the eagles and hawks from scavenging.

You sure they weren't drinking rice whiskey 😁
 
I've seen some specklebelly and snows act wounded with an out stretched neck, especially before daylight walking in, they wouldn't move until we got up close to them. They would scurry away and I shone a light over and they're laying in the water necks straight wings dragging trying to swim but could just barely paddle their feet. Then they would hide and try to dive but couldn't.
Definitely sick with something and not wounded by a hunter, last one was the juveniles hunt.
