The drought continues with no end in sight for the next few weeks. Birds are still most likely concentrated along the river or lakes, at least the ones we have. I haven’t seen many of late.
Heard an interesting fact at Hancock County’s (KY) DU event last night. The last time we had a prolonged drought this bad was 1936. The worst flood we’ve ever had along the Ohio River followed in 1937. Mother nature seems to even things out.
It was certainly a great time last night. Congrats to our Hancock County chapter members who hosted another great DU event.

Conditions for the youth hunt aren’t ideal right now, to say the least, but there are still some birds around the river if you can find a spot. We’ve seen numerous teal and woodies around and a co-worker saw some spoonies and gadwall during Kentucky’s wood duck/teal season.
Best of luck with the youth hunt. Get those kids out there and help preserve the future of waterfowling!!

We saw a lot of ducks flying the river this morning while dove hunting. It was very impressive. I’m sure that we should have probably been teal hunting instead.

The crew added three more geese this morning. We’re planning on making a trek tomorrow morning provided it isn’t raining hard.

The crew got the season started yesterday afternoon. Four geese to start the season, one of which was banded.
After they were done one of our boys took a swimming lesson.

Not much to report down here. I’ve been sick all weekend and haven’t been out all that much. When I have been out I’ve noticedd that most of the long necks around here in the areas we hunt are hanging out where you can’t get to them.
This drought has kept them from feeding in the grass all that much as well. Farmers have started to pick corn so the fields might be a place to be this weekend.

Shot five more Saturday morning. There was an awful lot of bad shooting in the group and we should have easily had 15. Birds were slightly skittish after being pounded on all week. I don’t know that I will go the rest of the early season so that could have been the last go until October.
