Where Southeast and Red Slough is
Southeast and Red Slough is drawn from 5 counties in Oklahoma: Atoka, Bryan, Choctaw, McCurtain and Pushmataha. 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 Southeast and Red Slough peaks
DuckCast’s season model puts the mallard peak here around late November. This follows the statewide mallard 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 Southeast and Red Slough
3 upstream stations feed this region's freeze line, nearest first: Coffeyville, KS, about 205 miles north, Joplin, MO, about 210 miles north and Emporia, KS, about 300 miles north. When those stations ice over, the score here starts climbing before anything changes in the local sky.
Radar over Southeast and Red Slough
Each morning DuckCast reads the night’s NEXRAD data from KSRX, the National Weather Service radar at Fort Smith, about 95 miles northeast of the region’s weather point. That is well outside the region, so treat the radar reading as area context rather than a measurement of this ground. 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 Southeast and Red Slough are always shown at the region level. DuckCast never collects or displays exact coordinates, so filing a report here never burns a spot.
