Birds not decoying at all today, can not figure it out. Moved everything that we could think of, boat, blind, changed decoys, blah blah blah….still flared at about 60 yds, just before they became into the hot spot. Saw fair aomount of birds.

Was out for about an hour tonight working the dog and saw a group of about 25 ducks and a group of about 50 geese. These birds were high flying and moving fast. Even more exciting is the downpour we are getting right now N. of Hutchinson! Maybe it will fill up some of the ponds around here.

Hunted friday saw many birds managed a 3 man limit, with a mixed bag of mallards,gadwall,gw teal and widgeons. Saturday was a very good day with ducks flying all over the marsh, managed a 4 man limit by 9:45. Today there werent as many ducks flying as we had hoped but we still managed 14. All in all it was a good weekends at cheyenne despite all the shooting goin on.

Cloudy, High Winds – 35-40 Degrees
Hunted with two boys on Saturday morning and man was it chilly with that 30-40mph wind. Overall not a lot of ducks in the area or moving around through mid morning. They did manage 4 in total, 1 Gaddie, 3 GW Teal. My son shot is 1st double that morning (2 GW Teal) which made it all pretty memorable, then his gun jammed and seems to have met it’s “waterloo”. Time for a replacement. We had several other groups wanting in our pool, one of which was a 12 pack of Redhead, which was neat to see. They dropped in our spread just like you’d want them too, but between a broken gun and a hesitent shooter, not a shot was fired. A couple more small 4-5 duck groups worked us while picking up the dekes. Could have had a few more on the stringer if luck would have come our way. In any case, our set-up was a 3-4 dozen mixed floaters (Mallard, Gad’s, Widgeon, Teal) set just north of our pit blind (to account for the STRONG north wind) and a dozen full body motion Mallards on a small mud flat just outside the floaters. Had a jerk sting and single Mojo in the water, but with the wave action towards the south, didn’t need to put either it in action.
Sunday morning on the Ark River we went, bad decision, not a single duck seen on the river up to 9am. Called it a day and packed up. Set-up used was 2 dozen Mallards and Gadwall floaters and 1 dozen full bodied dekes on sand bar. Never given a chance to see how it worked, no birds to test the layout. Love the spot and the look, but will have to wait for deeper winter conditions to light the river up.
All in all, the boys had a blast staying at the new lodge and shooting a few on Saturday. Next weekend the “Big Kids” get a go at it. Will report back shortly there after. Be safe, have fun and take a young one with you when you go!!

We did pretty good this am. Two drake mallards, on pintail, and two teal. Saw lots of teal, very few big ducks. Lots of cranes moving thru.

Hunted the Bottoms opening day. I’ll admit I was very disappointed with the way people opened up well before legal shooting time. I was so discouraged on Saturday that I passed on hunting there again Sunday.
I did manage a mixed bag limit. One immature Mallard drake, one redhead, two greenwing teal, and one goldeneye. I did see a few mallards before it was legal to shoot, and saw a group of pintails early as well.

Hunted the Bottoms yesterday in the morning got a nice mixed bag 1 woodie, 2 GW teal, Gadwall,and one rigneck. Pretty good morning not a lot of other hunters. Saw some migrators dumping into area as well. Good, cold north wind really brings them down. Dog worked good too. Great morning!!!!!
