Well the dove season opened this weekend for our zone. My son and i hunted saturday and ended up with a limit fairly easy. My son managed to kill one dove that was banded. It looked young so it probably was a local bird. I will update later when he gets his certificate back. It was a 1800- bird band. As for ducks i did see some teal flying around early saturday morning but nothing trying to land on our holes. Did see a fair amount of woodducks also. Hope the weather cools off quickly. Looking forward to a great waterfowl season. Hope everyone has a great season and looking forward to reading everyone’s posts.
Remember it’s what we do today that will tell what happens tomorrow.

Blue winged teal are starting to filter into the delta and i’ve allready seen a few around hattiesburg. Dove season is to open within the next few days in the north zone and the southern zone later on in sept. The Waterfowl seasons are set and can be found on the MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE AND FISHERIES WEB SITE. For those of you hunting doves within the next few days be sure to watch the snakes!!!! Looking forward to everyone’s reports.

Hunted for one last time saturday for sob’s. Took caleb and todd a couple of great guys from mississippi state. We set up on a wheat field and watched a ton of geese fly by to a wheat field 1 mile away. The field we were in held the same geese friday but they didn’t seem to want to come back into the same field on saturday. We did manage to scratch out a few and ended up with 13. Only 1 adult bird. Most of the birds acted like they had been hunted for years. We did make a few errors and should have ended up with more but that’s the way snow goose hunting is. I hope some day we can use e-callers during the regular season. If you have a chance to hunt these birds i hope you take advantage of it. They keep increasing in population every year. I have heard that if the population doesn’t get under control that they might end up spraying the birds with a chemical or allowing the locals to harvest more eggs in order to control them. I just hope before they go to those drastic measures that they give us a chance to use e-callers over all white decoys like they do in canada. Then they can see if the population come’s under control before they use other means of control.

well ended the season on a couple of good hunts. Saturday 4 of us bagged 4 mallards and 7 smiling mallards and 7 teal. We also killed 4 scaup and 1 hen canvasback. We had one juv. blue goose fly too close and finished the bag with him.
Sunday brought promise with a ton of new birds moving into our area. We killed 8 mallards, 1 gadwall and 7 teal, 8 scaup. Not bad to end the last day with a mixture limit. When we got ready to leave we had a couple of mallards give us a high swing and killed the greenhead out of it. He ended up being banded. Which gave us a total of 2 bands this year.
Monday we tried to film the mississippi outdoors and ended up shooting a 9 snows and blues. We have not had many geese on our lease or even around us this year. We did have a couple of small bunches moving early yesterday and ended up with a few.
The snow and blue goose conservation season runs from january 29th till febuary 2nd. It then closes for the youth waterfowl weekend hunt. Then it re-opens monday febuary 5th till march 10th. You need to call in for a conservation # from the wildlife and fisheries. You can use unplugged shotguns during this season and also have the aid of electronic callers during these seasons.
Help save the tundra by reducing the numbers of these birds if your able.
Also doug and drew the alabama boys had a couple of good shoots also at our lease on another hole the shot close to their limits on 3 out of the 4 days.
All in all it was a decent year but not by any means a banner year, which we had hoped for. Next year brings promise as the birds are just arriving to our state. Help out in any way possible to help promote our waterfowl hunting.
Hope all had a good and safe year.
Till my next post.

Season ended strong, got in a ton more shooting with more birds in the area. Finished up with what I liked to say was a strong finish to a schitty season.
All and all, our kill numbers were way down for the year. I would give up 2 weeks on the front end of duck season for an extra 7 days in the South. Cold weather alone can’t get the ducks down here, we need 3 feet of snow to cover up the food north. Weather is calling for wintery mix mid week for north MS. Wish we had it in December

All in all the last 5 days were very good!We limited out thursday by 8.15am.All Mallards with 5 gadwalls.
Friday was good also killed limit of mallards early with 6 specks.The bonus were the 2 Canadians that came into decoys as well.
Saturday was good also.Yesterday didn’t limit out but shot 8 mallards at 20-25 yds early before the winds were howling.
The weather will put ducks everywhere now.I hear that Delta Waterfowl is proposing a new later season for us in the south.
That would really help alot.
