JC, I THINK YOU MAY BE RIGHT ABOUT THE EAST SIDE OF THE RIVER. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS NOWHERE NEAR THE AMOUNT OF WATER SHOWING ON THE WEST SIDE AS 2 YEARS AGO AND AS A RESULT THE NUMBER OF BIRDS APPEARS TO HAVE DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY. I ALSO THINK THE FEDS HAVE DRASTICALLY CUT OFF WATER FROM SHASTA WHEREAS THE STATE HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT MORE LIBERAL WITH ITS RELEASES FROM OROVILLE. JUST LOOK AT THE WATER SHOWING ON THE EAST SIDE AROUND RICHVALE. GUESS MIKE JR AND I WILL BE LOOKING AT A CHANGE NEXT YEAR! ANY THOUGHTS OR IDEAS?PLEASE PM ME IF YOU DO. LET ‘EM WORK!

I did not hunt this past weekend but my guys said Sat was fair on mallards and teal…lots of teal showed up. Then when the north wind started ripp’in on Sat PM it was game on for specs and snows.
This week from Thurs on into the middle of next week should be good. The Klamath Basin is froze solid w/ plenty of snow and the warmer Pacific storms are a come’in!
EMR….for what it’s worth, myself and plenty of other guys believe the hunting on the east side of the river is far better than the west side. The east side holds alot more birds.

just when one almost gives up all hope—a miracle happens. dwwilly3 is still alive and dumb as usual. how could you run out of shells man?? only rookies do that tumbleweedboy. you are giving brush okies a bad name. we thought you were a really good hunter you sloppy manzinita loser. your brush update really sucks this time. you have let us all–well i will speak for myself down my brotha. you look good though–3 parts in your brushy hair ( try parting your hair from front to back–instead of sideways)and 2 in your whiskers (or at least what’s left of them after trying to light the stogie stubs you’ve been collecting)–lol–i crack myself up sometimes!! well keep trying and some day you just might make it. i would tell you to keep your day job but welfare pays around the clock eh?? there i go –cracking my self up again. so please keep those brush updates coming–even if you still have bad news.

noas for my report.. hunted near marysville friday with a friend and his wife who couldnt hit her a.s.s with both hands, had 8 specks,, shoulda had limits for the 3..
Hey mallard man. According to the girl who couldn’t hit her ass with both hands. You should not take a shot at a single speck landing in the decoys when the grind is coming in with it. She says if you would have actually hit that speck that drove the grind off, you would have had 9. She says she hopes you now understand why she doesn’t like lots of full body decoys. The grind land and you shoot what is called the “Off the Swing”. Oh ya only shoot away from the grind (the big live decoys that landed behind you) Be patient grasshopper and good things will come. Penny said she new it was your first time in the rice, but she asks next time let the birds land or wait for the group of 10 to set in the decoys so she can shoot with you and help you drop the bird this time. billy says stick the the grasslands grasshopper.

WEATHER for 10 days starting this Sunday, December 6th. Keep an eye on the weather! Computer models strongly indicate a series of strong Pacific storms that will pour into the north and central valleys starting right after this weekends weaker storm. These storms are predicted to begin around Tues-Wed next week and continue for a week or more w/ strong winds and lots of precipitation. They’ll be more of the Pineapple Express version rather than Alaskan.
