Glad you had such good success and that Bob Brown has recovered from the flood damage of 2011.

John, due to the lack of moisture the pot holes in Nebraska and Iowa don’t exist. My guess once they moved and got the areas like nod valley bb and sc they stopped. Sure wish Nebraska would do it like Missouri on public hunting.
Hunted bob brown and had a four man limit by 7:45. There number count is correct. 50,000 birds mostly mallards. There was a party by me that shot every 2-5 minutes for over an hour. Must of either had a beginer hunter with them or was shooting TALL birds! I would think they would of had there limit.

Just a report from my two sons who have renewed our old lease near Mound City.The boys hunted Friday and Saturday.Birds,mostly mallards were moving at shooting time till around 11AM.Both sons limited out on greenheads.Saturday,one son hunted back in the flooded corn and other hunted in near by field that had been ripped,he used his layout blind.Both sons hunted in the late afternoon,both had groups of 25-50 mallards at a time,both limited out on Saturday. The boys said that it appears there was a migration over last weekend,also reported numerous large flocks of snows coming out of Squaw Creek and heading north and then coming back to refuge later in the day.Our club has shot almost 100 birds so far,mostly good numbers last week,strange for weather has not been bad in the north to move the birds south.

My visit to hunt my lease began on Monday afternoon.They had shot some 13 birds in the morning.Nothing in afternoon. Wednesday very poor few birds.Had bad tuesday night which I will not get into.This cause was bad due to other members in the group.I now will stay with people I know. Wednesday afternoon,most of members were sleeping it off in the afternoon.I had blind to myself,made the discovery that I had left my calls in my other hunting jacket at home. Being frustrated at the events of the two days,I fed the dog around 3:30PM,packed up my gear and headed back to Columbia,never woke anyone sleeping.I will not be posting for a while till I make a decision for rest of the season.My problem,and I will deal with it.

Hunted Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Tuesday was a bust. Saw some high fliers about 9:30 and had one bunch of ring necks buzz the decoys. Changed locations for Wednesday and saw lots more birds. Ended getting a couple of woodducks, gadwals and ringnecks. No mallards worked the decoys. ben

Hunted Wednesday and Thursday.Wednesday was a dud. Thursday morning was much better,had some 20 gadwells dropped into decoys about 10 minutes before shooting time.They left before shooting time,short stopover.From shooting time till around 8:30, had all kinds of action,mostly gadwell,although one bryant was shot.Three of us ended up with six birds,many missed shots.Last retreive for Holly made my day,had a gadwell down some 100 yards from blind in brush.Waited till things calmed down,took her down to general area. She swam across a short canal,nose hit the water as she got to the marsh grass on other side of canal and in a few minutes,picked up the scent and found the bird,which was dead.Great work with her nose.It made my day along with the other retrieves she made around the blind.Be back at them again this weekend.Cold front coming on Monday,should stir up up some new birds.One member shot four birds on tuesday morning,left in the afternoon.

It has been some 3 yrs. since I hunted Bob Brown. The flood in 2010 pretty much knocked it out. Hunted it several times,always had good success.It is a wade and shoot area,but most of area has canals that you would need a boat.A layout boat was always my choice of a boat,dry seat in the corn fields,the canals will take you to the corn fields,after leaving the canals and you pull into the area you want to hunt,you can wade that area,I assume things are back to normal by now. They do have a limited number of hunters compared to Grand Pass.If you can’t get in. ,Nodaway Valley CA is near buy,it has a wade and shoot area.Good luck.
