When Southwest peaks

DuckCast’s season model puts the mallard peak here around late November. This follows Oklahoma's statewide curve; Southwest hasn't needed a curve of its own. That is a modelled typical curve, not a prediction for any single year. The actual push depends on cold fronts and freeze-up upstream, which is what the daily score tracks. Always confirm season dates with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.

What DuckCast watches upstream of Southwest

3 upstream stations feed this region's freeze line: Liberal, Dodge City, Pratt. When those stations ice over, the score here starts climbing before anything changes in the local sky.

Locations stay generalized

Hunter reports for Southwest are always shown at the region level. DuckCast never collects or displays exact coordinates, so filing a report here never burns a spot.
