Sep 2, 2015 Early Duck Season Scouting Early Duck Season Scouting As duck season quickly nears, several clients in Northwest Illinois took advantage of scouting their favorite parts of the Mississippi River flyway from the air. Water levels appear favorable in the backwaters of the Northwest and conditions are aligning for a good early season. Avid duck hunters are making preparations to their equipment and scheduling their blind construction, with early season short weeks away. Take a moment to talk about your waterfowl goals with a LandGuys waterfowl specialist or call your regional LandGuy to schedule a scouting flight in your favorite Illinois hunting area. – LT Taylor
