Cloudy, Light Rain & Drizzle – 50-60 Degrees
Well the reports from our lease in the south delta where rather dismal. Most of the geese have moved north along with a the majority of the ducks. The hot weather we have had along with the fog the last week has limited the birds in our area. Reports from a week and a half ago we have lost most of our birds due to a reverse migration. We do have a few ducks around with a scattering of geese. If we don’t have a strong cold front within the next two weeks our bird numbers shouldn’t rise. Reports that i’ve heard from mahanna and sunflower is a few ducks around but not in any huge numbers. With a small cold front moving in sunday and x-mas we will see if any new birds arrive.
South mississippi has been holding a few ducks but the warm weather has limited birds also. We tried a woodduck hole saturday and shot 5 and a hooded. We had over 200 birds two weeks ago but most have moved out. I hope january brings them back!!!!
Hope all are having better hunting than us!!
Until next week good luck and have a great X-mas
Remember it’s what we do today that will tell what happens tomorrow.

Did well in the Delta timber limiting on Mallards and Woodies the first morning, second morning was much slower in the same hole. Moral of that story is: Don’t hunt the same hole twice. We walk and find where the birds go that didn’t come to our spread and bushwhack ’em the next day.
Gotta move your feet this year.

Mostly Cloudy, No Precipitation – 50-60 Degrees
Got to the pit at around 2pm. Had low flying flocks walking in. Group of 4 jumped up out of the hole when walking up. Walked around the decoys and while putting the battery in the mojo, a group of 40 started circling the hole, but I scared them off. Twenty minutes after being in the pit, had a group of 40 cup up and come in. After that, saw a few high flyers with a ton of geese, then at around 3:45pm, not a single thing flying. Even after shooting time, walking out, not the first duck in sight.

Maverick,
Good to hear you had birds. I think that the really cold tolerant and hearty Mallards must move according to shorter daylight hours around the first day of winter, which just came. Gotta be something to it. Maybe a pattern to watch…

I guess I was a little wrong about the weather and not being any ducks. Got our limits Saturday morning out 3 big groups that worked in perfectly. A little slower on Sunday but at least the fog lifted out. Way more birds than I planned on seeing, most all headed North though.
