Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 35-40 Degrees
Saturday five of us hit the river for an all day hunt. It was really slow with significantly less birds in the air. We managed 20 ducks and 1 goose.

Late report but what the heck!!
Hunted geese after Christmas up until New Year’s Day. Unbelieveable Canada Goose hunt!! The river broke and the geese came thick!! One day a group of us shot 18 geese and another day we shot 8. Half the group were kids and they were letting the small calibers roar!! Seemed like everyday there were birds always coming in. The fields were hot and the river was great in the afternoon. Lots of fun and a good way to end my waterfowl season.

My buddy and I went out for geese today on a frozen lake. We did pretty good and got five geese and two ducks. One was a full plumed pintail, he was beautiful. Lots of geese flying around not very many ducks though.

Lots of geese flying around. There were some guy in a feild behind me slaying the geese. They would fly up the river and over me to the feild locked up and about 30 seconds later I would here the barrage. The survivors would come back over and head to the south side of the river. I got to set back and watch the whole thing, it was pretty cool. I ended up shooting three drake mallards and one drake teal. There wasnt very much flying at all but the birds that did come by worked right in. I had six goose floaters out but they were totally locked on to the spread in the feild, I might try a big goose spread on the water tommorow.

Cloudy, Occassional Rain Showers – 40-45 Degrees
Well the past week and a half has been off and on for birds. We hunted a corn field 12/23 and slammed the mallards. We had 21 in a short afternoon hunt. We went back out on 12/28 and had a longer, most of the day hunt and shot another 21 and 1 goose. Thur I went and scouted other areas and found one spot that had been a frozen slough now open with quite a few birds. I had an hour and shot 5 ducks and a goose. Sat, 7 of us headed out to CJ and had a really slow day… 15 ducks and 2 geese… not much for working birds. Yesterday, 5 of us went back to the corn field and hunted all day… a very slow day… and shot 12 ducks (1 banded)… as well as 2 specklebellies. With the recent rains and flooding, birds appear to be spending more time in newly flooded and thawed fields. They are more spread out with a definite decrease in birds seen as the days have progressed.

I went out on the Boise River next to Fort Boise this morning. It was raining pretty good the whole time I was there. Pretty good flight in the morning but once they all went out to feed there was hardly anything flying around by 10:00. I drove around and saw huge groups of mallards just setting out in open feilds with there heads tucked down resting. I only shot two birds.

Very foggy this morning. The only ducks that came in were teal and wigeons. I ended up with five over the decoys. There were a lot of geese in the area. I would call them towards me but they wouldnt come down into the fog. I finished my limit by jump shooting and got a really nice drake wigeon, would mount him but I messed him up. I drove up on a bute above the fog and saw quite a few flocks of ducks and geese flying around right above the fog. Tried to go chuckar hunting in the evening but with as much rain and the warmer weather it was impossible to access the spot I tried to get into, the road was all muck.
