I think the biggest part is instant media! LOL
You also have to realize, these birds have been shot at for about 2 months before they get down here. Starting in Canada and working south.
I also believe the ag practices have alot to do, combines are more efficient, no waste. Can you remember when the geese and ducks would pile in a field after a cut********
On another take, i believe the weather pattern has plenty too, as animals, they will go where food, shelter & sex are. If it is there, why leave.
I went to Oklahoma and Arkansas on hunts and the guides said it has to stay frozen for about 10 days for them to leave and head south. They will go only as far as they have to.
