I was told today that the duck death toll up on the snake river in idaho is approaching the 15,000 mark, really....15,000!!!!


I have never heard of this happening before but it is unreal that that many can die from botulism. I know where I live if that many ducks died we wouldn't see another one around for years. And I only live like 250 miles away.

Best to the guides in the area, I know that it is going to be even harder to make a living up there this year especially in these already trying times.

Todays paper said 15-18000 birds ,.. thatas a bunch.
Changed my hunting plans.

The Bear River Refuge has had bigger die-offs.
It takes mud flats,. If Cutler was low it would be possible for small areas,.. but not those kind of numbers.
With snow and rain Wednesday and Thursday and cooler temps hopefull hopefully the die-off has ended,.. well know as soon as it warms back up
