Tons of mallards in the area compared to last week. Big groups coming out of the hook but they had their minds made up today. We scratched out a few but nothing special. Bring on Thanksgiving week because I am ready.

Gave this morning a shot for a few hours. Nowhere near as many ducks as there were last week. They were probably tired of being shot at. Managed a few mallards and a gadwall. Not a banner day but got some shooting. More and more Canadas everyday, so bring on Thanksgiving week.

Friday morning me and a few others bagged a few gwt. Not as many as we would have liked but a good time was had none the less.
Friday afternoon we hunted prime hook and only bagged ONE mallard. By the time we got there the shooting was pretty much over. The morning there produced some good numbers though.
Saturday morning we braved the 40 mph wind and rain at the hook. Didn’t have much time to hunt due to a wedding I was in. We harvested some ring necks with one being a beautiful mature drake. He would have made a nice mount but I think I’ll eat this one.
Some blinds smoked the birds while others were left scratching there heads.
If anybody would like some tips for getting to the blinds at the hook, pm me and we can talk.
I can’t wait for Friday as that will be my next day in the field.
Good job to you guys that smoked em’ and and goodluck the rest of this split.

hunted friday and saturday with decent numbers taken. large amounts of teal both days with decent numbers of blacks and mallards. was a little dissapointed in the number of pintails as we have seen much higher numbers in the past in this area. Heard of good teal shoots all over the state. Decent start tot he opener, but bring on the colder temps

Saw a decent concentration of GWT both in the AM and PM on Friday. Mallards and Blacks were around in their usual numbers, as well as a few flights of Wigeon and Pintails. The Wood Duck flight seemed a little slimmer than was previously seen during scouting missions, but they weren’t totally gone. All in all, the opening weekend was filled with good fun, good friends and good hunts.

A fair number of teal, but few decoyed in. We got about half our bag.
Saw about two hundred mallards in a high flock going southeast.

We hunted Cedar Swamp this morning… There wasn’t as many birds in the air as I thought there would be. We managed only to put only two birds in the bag, 1 Greenhead and 1 Pintail. We passed on a few birds. But,I guess it could of been worse…
