Things were better for us last week. All parties killed at least some ducks, and some killed limits.
I’m still hearing that there are “tons” of ducks in Missouri. Maybe they will get down here after the season and imprint on the area.
Some of us are taking kids on the youth hunt.
Shoot ’em in the face!

As the cache, black, and white rivers have fallen the ducks have dispersed somewhat. There are still ducks in south end of white river but I have to say the article in the paper about no ducks being up north and that lots of ducks were here is rather disingenuous! I have reliable contacts up north and they tell me the bulk of mallard migration is just now hitting Illinois and norther Missouri. I’m not saying there haven’t been any ducks here because we have killed our share but to try and quote some game and fish guy from Missouri saying they aren’t holding birds north of here Is just flat bologna! Not complaining because you can’t change the weather and we have worlds best hunting regardless. Just don’t try and patronize us with that stuff!

loosing water in duck hole, upper Reyno gtr. decided to call it quits for the season after about the last 6 times out getting skunked not even getting close to a shot. wasn’t a bad season thou after killing 7 more ducks there than in the last 2 seasons. did kick up several groups of woodies on the river, other than that not a whole lot of ducks flying.

Better and better every day. Seeing a lot of mallards and they all seem to want to work. Field is holding large amounts of mallards every day. Group that was in Sunday, 5 guys killed 17 mallards. Went this morning and killed a 1 man limit in 10 minutes. Looking like the last part of the season will be good.

Not surprisingly, things were slow again this weekend for our club. We have one field near Bayou Meto that has been pretty good, but has very few mallards. Our numbers are about half of what we killed last year, which was our best year ever. The misery will be over in two weekends!
Shoot ’em in the face!

Mostly Cloudy, No Precipitation – 40-45 Degrees
Took my annual trip to Manila,AR to hunt timber in Big Woods wma, and as usual got lost looking for the boat lanes, didn’t find a blind untill way after shooting time, didn’t matter, didn’t miss anything, no ducks, little shooting. Not worth the trouble or expense. the only birds I had in the decoys were several coots and a Bald Eagle sailed over.
