Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 30-34 Degrees – Open Water
Went scouting this morning. Looks like a few mallards are on the river in small groups (6-12). A bunch of Canada Geese on gravel ponds throughout the valley. Feeding in numerous fields and roosting on safe zones (no hunting areas). A few green-winged teal on a small pond mixed with widgeon. Too much open water right now to concentrate or push birds.

First hunt of the season for myself on the 4 Nov. Four of us shot 14 birds (11 mallards, 2 widgeon, and 2 gadwalls). We saw alot of birds and should have killed a few more. It was a great hunt and looking forward to the big push of migrating birds.

Went out for the first time Sat. Saw a fair amount of birds, but nothing that wanted to sit. My dad shot the only bird that decoyed. A banded drake mallard. Heard very little shooting elsewhere.

Great, nice to see that I got people talking. It is good to hear what is going on out there whether hunting is good or bad.

In response to the prior posts. Hunting has been so so. Lots of migrators going south. Locals have been fairly wary to dekes but have done decent until my dog was put on injured reserve. Now Have dekes, boat and no dog for the next 8 weeks. Just have to put in the time to scout a bit and set up where the birds want to be.

In response to PETA. It has been a great year so far. I have killed 65 ducks so far and 10 different species. There are plenty of birds here, u just have to work for them. I have had to move my setup 2-3 times somedays to get the birds. They aren’t decoying all that great, but they are getting close enough. They have been flying for about 10 minutes after shooting time and then don’t fly until around 0930. As soon as the weather takes a turn we should have ducks all over the place. Good luck and be safe!

It appears that due to the lack of reports that people are not hunting much yet or the ones that are are not posting reports due to lack of success or they have let their membership expire.
Anyway, I have not been out yet for ducks. I took the dogs out for a ride in the boat yesterday from Nyssa-Homedale and saw very few birds. It was not very encouraging. Since there have been so few reports it is hard to compare what I saw to what others are seeing. I did see a few large flocks of high flyers heading north. Maybe they are confused and are heading back due to the weather.
Did anyone go out opening weekend? In past years there have been numberous reports after opening weekend. Hunters reporting their body counts and how long it took, but not this year. So if any of you went out I would be curious to know how your success was this year compared to past years.
