Administrative | Mississippi Flyway Missouri HunterWe do have another category amongst duck hunting non-resident members and they are the Mississippi Flyway hunter, or the duck hunter that follows the migration. This group is largely composed of northern state hunters who after duck hunting their home state take on the average two trips a season to a southern region based on what wetlands they have experience with, where the peak of the migration has progressed to and when they plan to take vacation time. A recent development has been the southern Mississippi Flyway hunter traveling north to extend his season and to have a better duck hunt. The feedback has been that migration peaks and season dates are better aligned in Missouri than the gulf states.

This illustrates the more leisurely approach to waterfowl hunting that our members may have. This is achieved after rising above the attitude of must get ducks and more onto enjoying the hunt for the challenge of the hunt. A subtly not experienced by the public wetlands duck hunter that shoots all ducks as any seen may be the only ones seen during the season.
