Potential Omaha Move

As was mentioned, your best opportunity will be a boat capable of handling the Missouri River. Will also come is handy for fishing and bowfishing...if your into it.

Hunt the cold fronts, it don't take much early season to get em moving down.

The basins are killer early season spots when they are holding water. When few marshes are holding water, plan on getting to where you want to hunt at midnight or earlier though. Lol

We do winter birds, mostly Canada's. Pockets of mallards will winter here but it don't take them long to find areas to hold in where they won't get shot. Field hunting is the most productive way to target the wintering birds.

Eastern and western nebraska are like 2 different planets when it comes to waterfowl.

This is probably a dumb question but I'll ask it anyway. Is the rainwater basin entirely dry right now, or are there spots with water? I've been looking at places since I got here, both to scout and also just to see what I see, and I'd like to visit the basin but I assume she's dry as a bone.

I've visited DeSoto and...wow, so many pintails and specks, more than I've seen collectively up to this point. It's nice to be in early April and still seeing tons of birds. Yesterday I counted 13 different duck species at the local lake, all fully plumaged of course. I've gotten some really nice footage on my drone recently, like these spoonies doing their spinning feeding pattern thing.
