sorry haven’t been posting lately. Lost my father in law a couple of days ago. Anyways we have been hunting some woodducks and have been doing fair the last few days. We also have been shooting a few hoodeds. Reports from our lease in the delta is a few geese and some ducks around. Doug and drew have had a couple of decent shoots and deadly danny shot a few geese during the last week. It is hot one day and cold the next which leads a person to wonder if we are getting new birds with the fronts. All in all this has been a fair year. We need this kind of weather early to mid december with it holding throughout the month of january. Most of the birds are holding in missouri and northern arkansas from reports that i’ve gotten. I hope we can get in one last push before the season ends. Maybe this cold front will push some much needed birds into mississippi for this last weekend.
good luck to all
Remember it’s what we do today that will tell what happens tomorrow.

5 limits of fats this morning. Found them in a little slough we found last weekend. Held back the urge to bull rush them last weekend, glad we waited. 20 greenheads the rest Greys and Woodies, all killed by 9 a.m.
Found a new hole where they were pouring in late this morning, we got a surprise for them in the morning.
This is the HUGE flight of new birds we saw last Sunday. Last couple of weekends should be great if we can stay on them and find there hinding spots.
Pics to follow…..

Mostly Cloudy, No Precipitation – 40-45 Degrees
We are seeing a few more ducks since this cold weather snaps, but not in the numbers we need to close out the season to meet expectations. My guess is that every field in the delta will be full of ducks…. around Feb. 1st.
Last weekend we saw better hunts and started reaching limits but we shouldn’t be killing teal in Jan. but when it’s in the 60’s, we’ll shoot what we can get. Fingers crossed for this last cold front to push new ducks, we are holding ducks but they are the same ones that have been here a month and they are getting smarter by the day.

I hunted from last thursday till yesterday morning.Im glad someone has seen some new ducks we haven’t.I stayed over till yesterday morning and I watched the same birds do the same things for the last several weeks.They were sitting in a newly flooded green wheat field.About 2.5 inches of rain water in it.This time last year I was hammering the birds.Why?Because there were new birds in our area.
We continue to not have a major migration since before Christmas.Which we killed 137 birds in 5 days.
I usally hunt my big rice field with 450 decoys and I am now down to 20.They still flair won’t work the hole.These birds have been there along time.This same rice field was totally eaten out by Jan 10th last year still stubble and rice everywhere this year.
I have several fields that have not had a bird in it all year and have not even been hunted.We need to face it we just don’t get the Migration that we used to get.
In the future I may start looking to the North…My buddies in Illonois and Missouri have hammered them all year long.
I pick up my decys every week and it still doesn’t help.
Time for some changes in my Duck Hunting strategies..

Hunted DNF on Saturday, limits of greenheads and Greyducks. A little slower on Sunday as we tried to hunt the same hole twice. I knew better but we were tired from the walk in on Saturday and did not go scout a new hole for Sunday.
We did see hundreds and hundreds of new birds arriving on Sunday. All Mallards and all hitting DNF. Should be a good last two weeks.
Check out pictures in the gallery.

Sorry I have not posted in a while. I have been a slave to my job lately and quail hunting with new bird dog. Went out Sat PM with my son and we set up in Mudlake and did not see alot of ducks. We did get the occasional bufflehead and managed to scratch out two. One fullplumage male that is going to the taxidermist. It doesnt look like I have been missing much.
A BAD DAY OF HUNTING BEATS WORK ANYDAY

I believe the major migration is way behind this year.It is a very tough season.There are some birds but they are spread out everywhere.To much rain and to many warm days.The ducks are just not where they need to be.
I hope that the last 3 weeks improve.Im sick of warm,rainy hot days.We have to get some weather North of us to get a push.The birds in our area (know the game).You find a spot where they are holding and they dont come back when you pressure them.I hope it improves.
Bad weather,bad migration and way to much water have not helped.
