Mobile Delta. This is only my third year duck hunting. We saw alot of teal, several small groups of mallards, some greys, and woodys. We got beat to our spot, whoever got it had a great shoot, it sounded like a war. We seem to have alot more birds this year than last.

Hunted Friday and Sat on the river out of Florence. Nothing decoying and only saw a few groups of big ducks traveling the river. It was a slow opener.

I hunted Friday morning and saw some wood ducks, no big ducks. Due to the lack of cold weather the past month, no big ducks have made it our way. Hopefully, with the colder weather this week, we will see some ducks on opening morning.

Yes, it’s dry. It was a very slow start for a season opener today. We had a couple of woodies do it and that was it. Saw a few very high birds and do not know whats up about with this. Rain is on the way and we need it. Good luck if you go out tomorrow and remember to read the rules. The new map for Jackson has a lot of details with some new information so take time to read it.
Be safe.

Raccoon, Mud Creek(Greentree), Crow Creek all are dry. Water is dangerous low. Be careful if you try to use a boat in any of the areas. Raccoon Creek WMA has some water by the 117 road bridge, but below the gates are about as dry in the swamps as I have seen in a many of years. Very few ducks coming off the refuge to use these areas.
Waneville has new boat ramp this year. With the present water level you cannot use without lots of hard work to push your boat off and then not sure it can be done. The water level is maintain at river elevation and it’s very low.
River is about as low as I have seen for a duck season opener. If you hunt the river beware of this critical fact.
River level is being maintained between 593.6- 594 for the rest of the week. The rain we had this past week did little to fill any of the areas. It will take time to fill the low spots and obtain any runoff.
ADNRC did a flight survey yesterday. Numbers are not anything to write home about, but were fair as compare to last year.
Be safe and remember the best is yet to come.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

CFGadwall, where in the G’ville area were these blinds destroyed? I second the motion on what should be done to the person who did this!

Just got word from a friend that up on Guntersville a large number of blinds were cut down over the last couple of days. Someone took a chainsaw to them & toppled them. Some of the blinds had been there for years.
If other “hunters” did this, they deserve to be tarred, feathers and banned from hunting the rest of their natural lives.
