Mostly Sunny, No Precipitation – 50-60 Degrees
went out for a quickie after work today, put out seven of our finest decoys in a nice loose fashion and had a nice little shoot. Landed a pair, killed a pair, the pair was all blinged out. Had three more skirt us because there was a car parked at the pit, long story but they thought about landing and so one of them met their maker too. Two bands is a great way to wind down the year though

Cloudy, Accumulating Snow – 25-30 Degrees – Ice
Matt, thought I’d try it again as the moon is gone. Set up on icy pond early and stayed until I had to leave at 1:30. Geese started flying good at 10:00 and kept it up until I left. Only problem was that, for the first time this season, they would not come to my decoys. Because of the snow storm, maybe they just wanted to go eat. On the way home, I saw several groups of 500 to 1000 birds dropping into the wheat fields around Loveland and Johnsons corner, around 3:00, as you said. Some were headed north.

– – Below Zero
hey Perro I didnt think anybody hunted when it got colder than o on this side of the mountain.I went out hunting on new years day morning which I’ve done for the last forty years. This time tho it was -20 degrees. I got my duck decoys out just before sunrise, and immediately the birds started flying. I pulled my gun up to shoot but I think my fingers were a little frost bitten because I push my safety off to shoot and I couldn’t get it to work. I then put my hands in my pockets trying to warm them up. While warming my hands, I laid my gun across my lap,at the same time another flock of mallards set their wings coming into my decoys,my young pup couldn’t stand the excitement so she jumped across me and my gun stepping on my trigger gaurd,safety and trigger with her wet feet.Immediately anothe flock came in,I pulled up to shoot and everything was frozen solid,Icouln,t even get my safety off.With thermals blowing down the river it had to be -50 below,time to pack it up.That was the last time I had to hunt the river for the year. I did get some time to hunt the Lamar area this last weekend, but all the lakes in the area are frozen up. Took an axe to the ice,it was a foot deep.There are a few geese flying around, they must be coming from John Martin. I enjoyed your account of your hunt on the river,thats a good way to end the season. PS I saw a flock of widgeons below Big Johns lumber yard after the first of January, seems awfull late for them to be here.
