PETA, I may have made a smartass remark but it was not unintelligent. I would like to respond to your comment of me “building up my ego” by listing the number of ducks I have shot. I am probably the least egotistical male you will ever meet, I simply post to try and convey to others the great time my friends and myself had. Thats fine that you would like others to post a more definitve description of where they hunt. I do not believe that you should tell me that I am unintelligent because I do not want you to know where I hunt. I also never said that no one else has ever hunted where I hunt. I simply said that I have never seen any traces of another duck hunter.

Sunny & Clear, High Winds – 10-20 Degrees – Open Water
Lots of birds on the Snake between Weiser and Grandview… haven’t done much scouting/hunting above that lately. Find spots on the river that are close to fields that the birds are using. This is your best bet. I know of two other groups that went out yesterday on two completely different areas on the Snake and limited. When the weather in the valley gets to the low teens or lower, get to the river. If it’s cold and windy… even better. I post a general location for other people’s benefit… but I won’t say where. If I was to say I was at Marsing and there were 2 gillion ducks… will there be 2 more boats parked at the boat ramp on Saturday?? …Possibly… I don’t want to risk it. If it’s by chance… no problem. I too, use this site for general info i.e. location, success, etc. On the other hand, some locations I don’t mind posting the location… if I fall on the floor and hit my head hard… and decide to go to Ft Boise to hunt… I’ll definitely let everyone know. Sometimes it’s to my advantage… I could say I went to CJ… everyone thinks that’s either Jacks Cr, or Loveridge Bridge… not many people try other areas. How many people knew that there were 10 thousand mallards last year on CJ within site of the dam for several weeks. Obiously very few, since we heard no other shooting. If I would have posted that last year, how could anyone with a boat resist. I know I couldn’t!
With that being said… usually, if I give the location, you can pretty much bet it sucked.

Thanks John-Carter, you seem to have the concept.
DuckCollar, I figured that I would get an un-intelligent response from someone. It was just a suggestion. This is a site for hunting reports. There is no point in reporting if you do not provide the details. Telling us how many birds you shoot in how much time does nothing other than build up your own ego. Look at John-Carters report, did he tell you exactly what spot he hunted? Which island, give the GPS location? No, he did not. I do not hunt in the Wieser area. I do not know it. So even if he posted a great report, I would not go there. I do not hunt CJ or the Boise River either. I have my spots that I know and like to go to just like everyone else does. And I am sure that you have your secret secret spots that only you and the ducks know about that have never been hunted in the entire history of hunting, except by you. So have no fear.
D.C., do as you like, just trying to make this a better site and more useful tool for everyone. I check out the reports from other states around us, Oregon, Washington and Montana, just to see what the birds are doing. Check out their reports, you might learn something.

Sorry but im not gonna tell you where I hunt. Some of the best spots I hunt never seen another duck hunter any signs of one. I do have some secret secret spots that even my closest hunting partner will never know about. Just the way I am.

snake river Wieser 12-07-2005 17:41
Cloudy, Heavy Fog – 10-20 Degrees – Open Water
hunted all morning but the fog got the best of us it did’nt break until 11:30 we got a few though. When the fog cleared and we headed back to the dock we flushed thousands of greenheads off the river there are lots of birds in the area. The small ponds are freezing so the birds have to go to the river for water. Watch out for the fog if you are running the river in the dark and fog.

It would be beneficial to all if everyone would include a little more detail when posting a report. Listing the Snake as the area hunted leaves a lot to the imagination. I know you all think you have the secret secret spot, but with the amount of hunters I see out anymore, I guarantee that you do not. I do not think you have to worry about others rushing into the area either because the percentage of people using this site is very small, or nobody wants to post unless they shoot a limit. The GPS coordinates are not necessary, but listing Idaho Falls, Nyssa, Homedale, CJ…. would be nice so we might know where the migration is at. I believe that is the intent of the site.

River was great this morning. About 17 deg at the boat ramp and about 10-15mph East wind. Lots of birds flying… two of us were done by 9:00 with mallards, pintail, gadwall, and widgeon. The birds were hard to pick out… We had to pass on two large groups because it was hard to pick out the greenies. Really good time…
