North Sacramento Valley 11-22-2010 11:24
Cloudy, Rain & Thunderstorms – 45-50 Degrees
Wild n wooly on Saturday! The mid-afternoon downpour and 20mph wind really shook-up the birds for a few hours. Good mallard hunting and the 1st of the greenwing teal balls w/ occasional 20+ widgeon bundles. The storm was too late for the AM goose flight and the geese sat it out in the PM.
As expected on Sunday! In the north Valley as always on a clear day after a storm nada. The full moon late Sat nite didn’t help either.
Looks like a fair number of specs have moved south along w/ the snows. Hope to get them back if we catch a few days soon w/ strong NW winds…we’ll see! Huge, I mean huge snow migration from the north on Sunday…spectacular sight against the crystal blue sky. With the early deep freeze and blizzard conditions all the way from the Prairies thru Montana to eastern Oregon to Klamath we should see a big influx of new birds this week. With fields flooding fast and the new birds I predict it will be “game on” over the Holiday weekend.

Arctic Blast – Froze Out
Still waiting for water. Maybe in time for the weekend storm I am told. Sure were a ton of specs up there in the Sacto Valley when we went up to work on the place last week. I went pheasant hunting instead. It must of been 80 at Hasting’s on Monday. Not very ducky. Don’t miss Bone Valley anymore.

Sunny & Clear, High Winds – 60-65 Degrees
Slowwwww weekend! Except for the specs and snows. Very few ducks in the air but the # of specs is outstanding. Maybe the most I have ever seen in the north Valley. Saturday was goose day thanks to the sustained 20mph+ wind. Between now and Dec 1st is the time to get specs so keep a watch on the weather….catch a windy day and you’ll get into some great action on the geese.
Very few ducks north of #162. Good duck hunting reported just north and adjacent to the Sink….the Audobon refuge is loaded w/ birds. Heard there were lots of birds on the west side of the Sacto River. Fields now half flooded and should be full by this weekend so I expect the ducks will finally show. Forecast calls for wet and windy conditions Fri-Sun.

My group will be able to start hunting later in the week and for sure by Saturday. Still some rice to be harvested and plenty of fields to be tilled.
Spent the entire weekend setting the spreads and brushing the blinds. Saw a few early morning duck flights. Specs–specs–and more specs….several of our dry fields had flocks of 500-1000 and there was a constant daily flight of specs moving in from the north. Hunters who had water in the fields just north and adjacent to the Butte Sink did well on mallards both Sat-Sun. More to report next week as the season ramps up and gets completely underway.

JC come on man. The State Parks get this money. The Parks need to realize that there are too many and certainly too many that have no special purpose. There are a ton of parks that are redwood forests, almost all of which are not old growth stands. Why not make money managing these stands properly. I could make the state parks more money this way, and reduce the fire hazards, and fix all of the erosion problems and still have money left over.
The parks need to start paying for themselves. I have a state park right next door and they can’t even staff it to collect entrance fees because not enough people visit it.
Maybe if Prop 19 passes the parks can grow all the pot they want and make some money legally and ethically. The dope growers already seem to have the operations set up.
