Sunny & Clear, High Winds – 50-60 Degrees
First off is there anyone else from mississippi on this site?
Well opening weekend kicked off this last weekend. We had a mixed bag this weekend. Consisting of mainly gadwall. We did see a few ducks in the mornings. Saturday was the best day for our group. We saw quite a few ducks moving but not many working. We did see some new migrators friday and sat. but nothing to speak of sunday. Alot of geese are begining to arrive now. Had a couple of specks give us a look but didn’t commit. We are still are very dry even with the pumping we did. Could use a good 2-3″ rain. With most of the mallards sticking around northern missouri it will take a good snow to move them. We did manage a couple mallards along with a few woodducks. Hope everyone had a good opening weekend.

First off is there anyone else who hunts in mississippi? No posts from anyone this fall!! Come on lets hear something.
Now we put some finishing touches on our blinds this weekend. We saw a few ducks around mainly woodies, teal, gadwall and smiling mallards. We set up for snow geese and made a morning hunt and scratched out 1. While we hunted we heard 1 snow shot 1 snow and saw no other geese.
Now as for the geese they started piling in on monday behind the front along with new ducks. I’ve heard reports now of mallards starting to make it to us. Alot of gadwall have made it down and even have some in south mississippi.
We need more cold weather up north but nothing is forcasted in the next 10 days the would warrant another push. 60-65 deg. highs and mid 30’s to low 40’s for lows and no rain in sight.
Again come on mississippi hunters let hear some reports.
Also a shout out to cold killer anything by you yet?

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees
Saw a bunch of speck’s today heading east towards alabama. Some ducks starting to arrive along with a few coots and grebe’s. Have heard of a few others seeing some specks. Most of the ducks seen are woodies, gadwall, and teal. looks like water conditions are gonna be decent this year. Got most of the blinds brushed and waiting on the opener.
Hope everyone is ready for the season.

Well i can’t explain. No Ducks around. Mahanna on friday there was 3 ducks killed. Howard miller isn’t fairing any better. From what i’ve heard is the snow line north is where all the ducks are. Nebraska is peaking with many mallards. Most of the small pond’s are frozen and ducks are using the rivers and larger lakes. Iowa is much the same. Mizzou picked up a good bit but most of the mallards are north of there. Arkansas is hit and miss with new ducks arriving on new fronts.
Geese are arriving in force in much of the delta but very few ducks.
2 weeks ago we ended up with 3 in two days.
This last weekend we ended up with 3 in 3 days.
I did talk to a biologist this weekend and he figures most of the ducks we had went north with the warm weather.
On a positive note there was some high flights of birds yesterday heading south. Maybe some will trickle in or come back from the south until a good front hits the midwest.
Deer are on the move with the rut starting in the delta and on north.
Hope for some birds.

I hope we haven’t been painted another false picture because I have been hunting all my life and the numbers in Mississippi look bleak.
I hope the weather makes a push because I’m not seeing any numbers of any type of ducks yet! Hopefully no more rain for awhile and some frigid weather to the North will help us out
The Snow Geese have just started showing up so maybe the ducks are just behind them !
Thanks,
Merry Xmas

Cloudy, Occassional Rain Showers – 60-65 Degrees
Hunted friday to today. We had 11 hunters and ended up with 55 for the three days. Friday we had a decent day and worked a few. Mainly gadwalls and woodies with a few mallards. Saturday was the same story only a strong south wind. We did see a few migrating ducks but nothing that would work. Today was greeted by a north wind cloudy and a few showers. We managed to scrap a few birds but nothing moved till after we started picking up. Figures. Anyways pippy took his pup out for the first time and the pup got his first bird this weekend. Although we didn’t get to work him as long or as much as we wanted. Most of the delta i heard got around or over a inch of rain last night and this morning. We did see a few geese moving in but not many.
All in all a ok opening weekend but we need some more of the white stuff up north, and it needs to stick around for a few weeks.
We did also manage to introduce waterfowling to a few new hunters. Mad mike and little hunter.
We also drug out an old waterfowler known in our parts by old ken and his son logan.
We had a great time and look forward to many more. Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable weekend.
Other reports is swiftown is hot right now as is belzoni in spots.
Mahanna is fair with not much water and a few ducks. I heard ducks are down there by 50 percent from last year at this time.
Howard miller is much the same ok water and ok ducks.
Muscadine had a fair shoot.
Sunflower is a woodie haven.
Until any new news i hear

Just got back from building a blind saturday. Saw a decent amount of ducks, mainly gadwall and woodducks but there was a few mallards around. Didn’t see many geese but did see a few bunches. Most of the delta region is in need of a good rain. It was extremely dry but where there was water was holding ducks. Won’t be going up before the opening weekend so i will only be able to post on what i hear. Pray for rains!!

Saw a good push of specks saturday. First geese i’ve heard since last year. Good numbers of ducks are on bouge homa. Saw woodducks, grey’s and teal along with a few divers. Haven’t been to the delta yet but i’m gonna be going in a few weeks so i will report after i come back. From the reports i’m hearing duck numbers should be great this year, just hope for the cooler weather to start hitting up north so they will migrate down.
