If you were going to go out of state this fall on a hunt for divers; Redheads, Canvasbacks, BB,s. with a high probability of killing these species, where would you go? When would you go?
thanks for the input, I am looking to go in November for about a week, well before the birds potentially get here. I am looking at great lakes and southern Ontario. I really appreciate the input from you guys.
With that timing, I would go as far North as you can. Cans especially seem to only migrate when they absolutely have to.
Why would you go out of state to kill these birds? Probably have just a good a chance here. With the right weather you can count on seeing these just about anywhere on the coast. If you really just want to see another state I would go somewhere along the Chesapeake Bay.
For those of you that routinely hunt the coast of NC. Is the above statement really true? Let's say on a three day trip with windy conditions, highs about 50 and lows in the high20's could I reasonably expect to kill a canvasback or a redhead (if I shot well) anywhere along NC's coast?
I grew up in the Hampton Roads area of Va.
It was not that unheard of to kill a can, BB, and RH in the same hunt where we hunt. Nowadays it's a lot more miss than hit, but can still be done if the stars align.

catahoula lake is in Louisiana is very well known for canvasbacks. Not sure if it still is, but it used to winter the largest number on cans on the Mississippi flyway.
