Having nice hunts in the fields. Kind of strange, One morning teal and widgeons, next morning Mallards. Still taken the 40 plus yard shots at the Sprigs!
Mississippi river is risen. Should pull birds from the fields later this week.

Hunted over the weekend with better results than previous weekends, limits but mixed bag. Tons of teal and gadwall still around, mixed in with some greenheads.
This last cold push should help wind the season up, hopefully there will be a continued push of new birds. Plenty of shooting though

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 25-30 Degrees – Ice
Hunted thursday till sunday morning.
Thursday had cold temps and frozen water. Opened a good hole in the ice and saw no ducks. We saw a few geese and shot two. Thursday afternoon we saw a few more birds and ended up with mainly smiling mallards 10 ducks, 2 geese.
Friday tried to hunt geese. We watched as the geese in our area went southeast and never returned. We decided to check out some catfish ponds and then return for a afternoon hunt. We saw a few birds on the catfish ponds mainly scaup. We drove back to our blind and shot a couple more smiling mallards along with 2 greenheads. Decided to give the goose spread a chance so we hunted from 3 till sunset with only one flock giving us a chance which we decided to let make one more turn and they left.
Saturday hunted the blind again. We got a mixed bag of smiling mallards to ring necks. What has happened to all the birds? No geese and a few ducks but nothing like 2-3 weeks ago.
Sunday tried to hunt our main blind again, same results.
Hopefully we will get some birds into mississippi before the close of the season. Very few mallards for this time of year and only seeing a small amount of pintails but a ton of smiling mallards. Don’t know what to think should have good numbers of ducks by now. Hopefully the next 3 weekends will bring some birds.
Hope everyone else is having better luck than us.
Remember it’s what we do today that will tell what happens tomorrow.

Well saturday morning started with a few ducks at shooting time then the rains started in. It rained and rained but it also rained ducks. We ended up with a four man limit and a blue goose.
Sunday was very much the same except no rain.
The ducks consisted of a mixed bag. A few mallards and teal along with a few others. The high light of the day was my son shooting a canvasback on our lease, which is a flooded bean field.
Other reports that i’ve heard is that howard miller has a large number of ducks, mahanna has been picking up a few, reports out of greenville of large numbers and limits, the belzoni area has a few ducks but not like the west delta.
If you have been drawn at howard miller you need to be hunting there. Estimates friday was 25k+ with 50% mallards. With 5K new birds. Very little hunting pressure has been seen so far this year.
Quite a few geese in between greenville and cary between hwy 1 and hwy 61. Saw lots of medium sized flocks feeding all along the area.
If the weather stays cool and missouri and arkansas keeps getting hit with storms we should continue to get ducks into mississippi.
Hope the weather holds!!!!!
Look forward to everyone’s postings

I don’t know if the ducks will stay but they are here. Large number of working mallards, gadwalls, and teal. Some great hunting over the weekend

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees
Well we had a good number of ducks and geese in our area this last weekend. We were able to enjoy a good goose hunt friday, we had alot of snows and blues moving in. Although we didn’t have the numbers of years past at this time. But i guess harvesting over 20 birds a day is still decent.
As for ducks we saw alot of new birds moving into the south delta. We shot a few mallards and woodducks but we still don’t have the birds. I think another 2 weeks we should be picking up birds and should have some decent shooting.
As for the delta region wma’s. There is still some good hunting coming our of mahanna although you have to work to have good shoots. Howard miller is still doing fair but not up to expectations. Shipland is picking up a few birds along with sunflower and the delta national forrest. I would look into sunflower and delta national as birds continue to move into our area.
Until my next post
