Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees
Friday- we hunted mahanna and shot a assortment of ducks. We should have limited out but there was a ton of people. Someone started the shooting about 20 minutes early and the ducks where up and moving out. We had some good groups of teal and gadwalls that worked. We shot some teal and shovelers and gadwall but were limited due to the pressure. My son did however kill a canada goose. Fridays totals 9 ducks and 1 goose.
Saturday brought promise only to end with 7 ducks. We shot a drake redhead and woodducks and a few odd balls. We didn’t hunt mahanna saturday due to all the pressure on friday. From what i’ve heard it was less pressured on saturday. A couple of guys from our lease limited out on mallards and gadwall and shovlers on saturday at mahanna.
Sunday we set up on a hole and managed a shoveler and a couple of scaup in the morning and decided to hunt a small hole mid morning and shot a couple of mallards. No geese around at all and very little duck movement. Later in the afternoon we decided to try a woodduck hole and managed a couple. Sunday eve we hunted some catfish ponds that we saw some big ducks on. We flushed out the big ducks and only had a redhead and a couple more scaup return along with a couple hooded. We ended up with 8 ducks on sunday.
As for mahanna make sure to watch where you hunt. Also little robert got shot by someone saturday and i would recommend to use safety glasses when hunting there until it gets lite enough for everyone to see you.
I would guess that mahanna held about 30,000 ducks on friday and a few less saturday. The ducks where a little more skittish on satuday and then again sunday from reports that i’ve heard. Although most had good shooting.
Looks like this weekend that we have a cold front moving in. Maybe this will give us a good push of ducks and geese.
Hope everyone had a safe and fun opening weekend and look forward to everyone’s posts

There were more ducks in the area 3 weeks ago.It was a horrible opener.Very few ducks in the air on all days.Geese flying but can’t find them on the ground anywhere.We have lost most of our birds either going back north or south.We need a major push because there are no birds anywhere in the area.

It was a perfect day to be out just not a lot of ducks around. Mudlake is not acessible by a normal boat however a go-devil might get you back there. Fri. am my son, nephew and I shot 7 buffleheads but should have gotten twice that many good fun and lots of shooting. Sat. am tried a so called better spot and got skunked went home early for breakfast. Not the best opening weekend but it is good to be back out hunting!!!!
a bad day of huntin beats work anyday!!!

Sunny & Clear, High Winds – 50-60 Degrees
Strong north winds have pushed new birds into the south delta. Tamale tom and son tried some goose hunting with no avail. They did see good numbers of snows and blues along with some specks. Very few ducks where seen in the air but a good push of geese has arrived. On sunday Deadly Danny put out a small spead of decoys and shot 4 geese. He was putting the finishing touches on the blind and had quite a few geese work him. He did see a few flocks of ducks but most where high and migrating south. Most of the state hunting area’s have good duck numbers in them which should provide some great opening morning shoots.
Hattiesburg area has seen a increse of woodducks and a few mallards and gadwall over the weekend. We usually don’t see any mallards this far south for about another 3 weeks.
From what i’ve heard that a large migration has left the upper midwest although some stopped a little short of us a good number has made it south. It looks as though the opener should be great.
Until my next post
Remember it’s what we do today that will tell what happens tomorrow.

Deer hunted over the weekend in Natchez, quite distracting in the stand with a steady stream of snows over head. Stopped by the duck camp on the way home to check water levels and glass a few fields. Decent number of ducks around, still need more. Skies filled with more snows though.

Mostly Sunny, No Precipitation – 45-50 Degrees
Quite a few ducks seem to be moving in, along with some geese. Mahanna is full of birds as i write this and looks to be the hot spot of the opening weekend. I had a buddy that is deer hunting there and said he cant hear from all the noise being made from the ducks!!!! Friday we will be able to finally start. Maybe another front will move even more birds into the region. I have also heard good reports from tunica south. The hattiesburg south mississippi region has seen a increase in woodducks along with some gray’s and teal. It looks like this could be a banner year like 99 if all holds on. With ample water in most of the state and birds allready in place. I hope all have a safe and fun opener. Remember that ducks and all geese are open for three days after thanksgiving then they close the week after of which only snow geese will able to be harvested. The dates for the snow goose conservation season will be Nov. 27th till friday Dec. 1st. Remember to get your snowgoose conservation number also to participate in this event. It can be gotten from the wildlife fisheries and parks. Also you are permitted to use electronic callers and unplugged guns during this special season. On Dec. 2 & 3rd the duck season will open again and close on sunset of Dec. 3rd. It will be closed until Dec. 5th when it open till the last weekend of January.
Hope everyone continues to post and lets have a great year!!!!
