Christmas day and the day after saw a bunch of Mallards. Could have limited out if we were a little better at shooting. Hunted the last few days and not much going on at all. Seen a bunch of high flyers, but none workable. Today, 2 Jan, didn’t see much at all until about 8.00am. Only had two groups actually work and come in the hole. It is too freakin warm to be in the pit. Had mosquitos tearing us up the other day. So far this season is kinda blowing. Really do need a big artic blast to push these jokers down. The few mallards we killed were new birds. Feet were bright orange. Sure hope it gets better. Only four weeks left.

I hunted friday,saturday,sunday,monday.Friday the big rains started killed 3 greenheads before rain.When it started pouring we left.Saturday wasn’t any better either.Sunday when skies cleared went to timber after over sleeping and killed 2 limits of mallards and gadwalls.Monday 1 greenhead and snow goose.
We need weather up north these birds are educated to the max.We have been shooting the same birds for weeks now.
They never post an accurate migration report here.All I have heard all spring and early fall was we have 15% more ducks this year than last year.This time last year was much better than this year.
Thre refuges up North pour out grain for the ducks and geese to eat so they want come south.Believe me when I say that USFWS (DON’T) want you to kill any ducks.They screw us southern guys every year.They are our ducks not theirs!!! Im sick and tired of spending thousands for duck season and not seeing any new birds for weeks.
Its time for all of us to stand up and speak out or this will continue for seasons to come.

Hunted Wednesday thru Saturday morning until we were blown off the field by wind and heavy rain. Hunting was fair to good as most of these ducks have seen every spread pattern, robo duck, vortex, jerk cord rig in Mississippi. Not to mention they have been called to death. Killed quality mixed-bag limit on Thursday and Friday. Killed two ducks at first light on Saturday and hauled butt after rain hit.
It is that time of year when they even flare to live ducks.
We are seeing plenty of birds but need a good artic blue front BAD!!! Hopefully we will get more favorable weather this month.
I was swatting flies and bugs this weekend and heard frogs baying and quail whistling.
We have a camillia buch in front of our lodge in full bloom!
Snows, blues, and speck number continue to increase by the minute.

Saturday hunted Panther, did ok. Greys and Mallards. Lots of shooting in the distance though. Scouted for a place to hunt on Sunday. Almost sank the three wheeler but found the birds. 6 hunters limited on Greenheads, Woodies and Greyducks. Lots of new birds flying high and numbers picked up on the refuge. Last 3-4 weeks should get better if you know where to go.
To the Alabama boys with the fancy DU stickers all over their truck. When someone says good morning you might not want to blow him off. I know you guys have been enjoying beating everyone into the hole. That game is over, we know where you’ve been. See ya on Saturday morning at about 2 am.

Pretty nasty day, but gave it a shot anyway. Probably the most ducks I have seen all year. Hunting in a flooded rice field and had over 50 on the hole when I arrived. After settling in the blind, had some mallards working the hole, but while my attention was on them, 5 Mergansers plopped down in the middle. Took one of them out, then two spoon bills and stirred up and hornets nest of ducks with the shots. Lots of low flyers but they seem to be working a hole about 100 yards from me. Probably the most ducks and variety I have seen all year. It was very windy by the way.

Clear morning, light fog. But the ducks showed up, woodies and mallards. Hard to believe you can kill more ducks in the hills than in the delta. Rain is coming for the next two days. Merry Christmas.

Not as many ducks in the Delta as yesterday. Lots of high ducks, but they don’t seem to want to work. Killed seven mixed bag.
