Where North Hills Reservoirs is
North Hills Reservoirs is drawn from 14 counties in Mississippi: Alcorn, Benton, Calhoun, Grenada, Itawamba, Lafayette, Lee, Marshall, Pontotoc, Prentiss, Tippah, Tishomingo, Union and Yalobusha. Those are the counties its shape on the DuckCast map is built from, so a hunter in any of them reads this region’s score.
When North Hills Reservoirs peaks
DuckCast’s season model puts the gadwall peak here around early January. This follows the statewide gadwall curve. 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 state wildlife agency, linked below.
What DuckCast watches upstream of North Hills Reservoirs
3 upstream stations feed this region's freeze line, nearest first: Memphis, TN, about 65 miles northwest, Dyersburg, TN, about 110 miles north and Jonesboro, AR, about 125 miles northwest. When those stations ice over, the score here starts climbing before anything changes in the local sky.
Radar over North Hills Reservoirs
Each morning DuckCast reads the night’s NEXRAD data from KNQA, the National Weather Service radar at Memphis, about 70 miles northwest of the region’s weather point. That puts the radar just outside the region, near enough to see birds lifting off and passing close by. Radar sees every bird in the air, not only ducks, so it confirms or questions the score rather than moving it.
Locations stay generalized
Hunter reports for North Hills Reservoirs are always shown at the region level. DuckCast never collects or displays exact coordinates, so filing a report here never burns a spot.
