Sunny & Clear, High Winds – 40-45 Degrees
Saturday – 6 hunters – 27 ducks 1 snow
Sunday – 2 hunters – 12 ducks
Mostly spoonies, gadwall & teal with the occasional mallard. Sunday was much slower than Saturday but we still finished up before 11:00.
Duck Hunting Attitude: It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 muscles to smile…. but it takes only 3 muscles for proper trigger squeeze!

WB: If it were not for the Pintails & Teal, our season would have been a ‘bust’. I too have hunted many seasons and this is the most I’ve seen.

Well, it’s a good news/bad news type of thing.
Good news is, I have never seen this many Pintails. Ever! And I have hunted many years.
Pintails by the droves every morning.
One field we have right off of I:40 had 2000 ducks in it. From what I could see, all Pintails.
Bad news is, that is ALL we have. Hardly a Mallard in the bunch.
Things have been so bad this year that a few of the clubs around us have locked up for the year.

first time this year, no one messed around with my decoys and jerk line in the duck hole. Lots of ducks flying high over the timber at shooting time, north to south, nothing interested in working. not much water left in woods. hope tonights rain helps, still hoping for new ducks.

Missouri is still holding 100,000’s of ducks with open water. The North and Middle zones (which contains about 90% of their wetlands) is now finished with duck season, so Missouri is now one BIG refuge!!!! Unless they get some really nasty cold weather up there, we may be hosed!!!

I didn’t think it could get any worse, but last week it did! I took off all week, hunted nine times, and our group killed a total of eleven ducks. Unfortunately I didn’t fire a shot in five morning hunts. Our club is way behind where we were this time last year. On a bright note my son went this morning (1/5), & four hunters killed ten gadwalls, a banner hunt for us. Come on “blue norther” up north of us!
Shoot ’em in the face!

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 30-34 Degrees – Open Water
started out ok,I thought, kicked ducks out of my duck hole when I waded in. that was it. very few ducks flying, very few hunters around me and little shooting. starting to loose water in the river and woods. guess the only thing we can do is hope for cold snap up north to push new ducks.

Very few mallards in the woods, a few ducks in the fields around Althimer. One of the good things about the Metro right now not very many hunters.
A good friend on mine says water north of us still open and hunting seasons are starting to go out.
