Cloudy, Winds Calm – 40-45 Degrees
Shot the Richvale blind with a buddy this morning and had our limit by 8:45. One hell of a teal shoot! 12 teal and 2 wigeon.

Shot a NVR on Wed with a low reservation draw that mallardman pulled.
We shot the best blind on the refuge and were rewarded with 3 limits by 10. Could have been done by 8, but I was ballisticly challenged.
Drove past Sac and it was wall to wall snows. Not nearly as many ducks as last week. Must have move back up north.

AS AN ADDENDUM TO MY LAST POST I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE AREA JUST NORTH OF “SALLY’S PLACE” THE GORRILL RANCH, ON THE WEST SIDE OF MIDWAY, HOLDS AN IMMENSE NUMBER OF SPRIG AND SPECKS. NORTH OF THAT IS RANCHO ESQUAN, KEN HOFMANNS PLACE THAT DOES LIKEWISE. NEED SOME WEATHER TO MOVE THEM…..

drove through richvale yesterday and today up midway and it appears too early yet for any number of birds. used to hunt right off colony park dr south of nelson-shippee rd for 4 years but gave it up due to the long walk out in disced mud to the island blind as well as no shooting til 12/15 and if rains come and flooding developes the birds are gone til……..hope this helps somewhat.

North Sacto Valley 11-29-2010 17:48
Sunny & Clear, Morning Fog – 40-45 Degrees
Mixed results this past weekend. Again for the 2nd weekend straight we had a brisk SE wind on Saturday…..no bueno! A duck limit could be had if you had the resilience to wait it out, stay awake and make your shots count. Ended up w/ a pair of bulls and pair of mallards before 12 noon quit time. For whatever reasons hunters at the very far north end of the Valley did well in no time.
Tule fog and a bad fog Sunday AM. Came in at 4:00am and locked the ducks out and the hunters in as is the case w/ a low hanging tule. Scratched a mixed bag limit by 9:30am….teal and a pair of widges. Quite a few hunters did well on snows and again it was the hunters in the far north end. There are outrageously large grinds of snows across the Valley for this early in the season.
Look for a weather disturbance mid-week of which the weather boys are confused over. Due to rapidly shifting air currents could be a quick but hard blow or just a 24 hour soft drizzle. “Dear Santa….all we want for Xmas is a mile high fog that sets in for 7-10 days….please”!!!

If you want to read an interesting report/observation go to the CANADA Section(State Selection) and see Larry Kaumeyer’s recent post. Fair breeding and hatch for 2010 and could be outstanding in 2011.
