I am headed to Bob Brown next weekend. Do I need a boat to hunt there? Is this a good place to hunt?

Looks like your computer might have had a slight malfunction??? Looks like your latest post was duplicated multiple times over and over.
At any rate thanks for sharing your update.
We had a really good opener in NW Missouri. We had 5 of us and limited by about 9am at our farm. Mix of gadwalls, wood ducks, pintail (1), canvasback (1) and teal.
Sunday was the usual slow down we expect. Great weekend to get things started.

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 60-65 Degrees
Hunted the lease on Wednesday and Thursday. Slow but days.Both days little wind and temps in the 60’s.On Wednesday did manage to take two drakes.Birds worked the spread both days,but no wind and decoys dead in the water.On Thursday hunted till noon and then headed back to Columbia. Saw more on Thursday morning till around 9’clock and then went dead.See where Squaw Creek picked up some 20,000 mallards plus since last week,total on refuge over 60,000 birds,up from around 29,000 last week.Stay safe.Will give then another try next week.PS,on thursday total of one green wing.

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 50-60 Degrees
Hunted the lease on Wednesday and thursday.Weather was a problem.Very little wind and temps in the 60″s,even had honey bees in the blind by afternoon.On Wednesday first hour and half numerous birds,teal,wooddies,galdwells and some mallards,none wanted to work,no wind was the big problem.Did manage to take two drakes early morning.Afternoon both days very very slow.On Thursday,saw more ducks at shooting time than we saw on Wednesday,same type.Same results,galdwells,teal and some 10 mallards worked us with several passes,but with no wind,every thing looked dead in the water.One greenwing got to close,that was our take for the morning.Temps back into the 60’s,left at noon to head back to Columbia. Hope next week brings more weather. There seems to numerous ducks in the area,but with this kind of weather,they are all sitting in the small bodies of water in the area.Holly made some nice retrieves both days,was concerned about her for she is ten and Wednesday night was in bed early,come thursday morning,she slept in,till we had breakfast and got our gear together,she was out of bed and at the door with tail waggleing.Did nice retrieve on the teal shot which dropped some 30 yards from the blind in some marsh grass.Stay safe.
