By river trend, all five seasons
| River | Days | Ducks | Hunters | Per hunter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Falling | 36 | 269 | 428 | 0.63 |
| Steady | 109 | 875 | 1,301 | 0.67 |
| Rising | 20 | 161 | 211 | 0.76 |
Falling or rising means the river moved 10% or more over the three days before the posted date. River is Mississippi River at St. Louis, MO, about 23 miles from the area. It is a river reading, not the water level in any pool, and MDC controls pool water with pumps and gates.
These tables describe past days. They are not a forecast, a small day count means a shaky number, and one thing lining up with another does not mean it caused it. Temperature and wind are from St Charles County Airport, about 2 miles away, for sunrise to mid-morning on MDC's posted date.
