I put in for the first time to hunt deer and elk out of state! I visited Butte/Anaconda this summer with a friend (His father was a school administrator there) and fished Georgetown Lake, Rock Creek and The Big Horn. You are so blessed to live in paradise. What a beautiful place to raise a family. He convinced me to put in for a hunt this fall.
I was hoping some of you might offer some adivce on what kind of weather I can expect in mid October thru late November? What kind of shooting distances am I likely to encounter? Thank you! If you are coming out to the Central Valley in CA maybe I can return the favor.

Well thats a rap. Headed back out to the creek, and only managed 2 greenhead. It was about -20 below, so the ducks did not want to be flyinhg around. Managed the 2 when we jumped them, and didnt see a single bird the rest of the night. Its 259 days too long until I can start barkin my Benneli, but there is a late season cow hunt next to K-Town on the east side of the valley to keep my blood flowing. My year wasnt great but its always those 3 or 4 duck/goose hunts in the season that were so awesome that they make the season look preaty good, so I cant complain.

259 days! Thats not cool. We missed you today Mark!
I forgot to submit a field report for yesterday afternoon. So here it is. Lots of ducks I only shot three drakes because I only brought three shells. I was making a blind for today. When I got back to the truck a warden was waiting. He was pretty easy going. He did the warden thing and then we started talking. This is at 520pm. Anyway as we were talking we heard a shot on the river. He looked at me and said ” gee thats a little late, I dont mind 5 min but that really late”. About 20 min later this guy came out and when the warden asked if it was him, he swore it wasnt. This was funny because his truck was parked right beside mine and we were the only ones hunting in the area. Long story short he got a ticket. A duck is never worth a $75 ticket. I hope everyone that made it out today made the most of the last day and enjoyed themselves.

That would be 259 days Hutch. Man I missed being out there this morning. It about killed me. I got up at 4am and sat in front of the fire just wishin I didn’t have to go to work. Shirley say’s I’m a very sick man. Can’t explain the duck addiction to her. The world is a safer place though. I missed the last day of duck season so that everyone in this part of Montana has plenty of Frito-Lay chips to snack on this weekend. That’s just wrong. Glad you & Paul had a good shoot, Mark

Well I am all done for the year. I went out this morning with a buddy and hunted the river. The weather was great. About 5 degrees with a 5-10 mph SW wind. It was slower than expected. The birds flew up the river but never came back like the usually do. But there was enough activity for us to limit on greenheads and one bonus goose. There was some variety flying around today. We saw severalgreenwing teal, gadwal, goldeneyes, pintails and widgeon along with 500-600 mallards.I wanted to shoot a little variety, but its hard to pass up drake mallards cupping over the decoys. All in all it was a great ending to an awsome season. I just wish it wasnt over. How many days till next years opener?

Gave her one last hoorah on the river yesterday and did well. 2 greeheads and 4 goldeneye, not a big goldeneye fan but fun to pass shoot, not a big decoying duck. Felt bad for the dog, ice chunks to avoid and cold but that’s what they love. Hope next year is better than this one, can’t remember such a poor duck season. Peace out boys.

Just got back from a awesome jumpshoot on a creek after school. First we jumped some honkers off, and took 2. Then we headed further down, to were the creek funneled in tight with lots of cover,so the ducks really had no place to go, and flushed about 30 mallards out of it. It was like shooting fish in a barrell, knocked down 6 greenheads. Then headed even further down, and took 4 more greenheads. Then we sat and watched as tons of greenheads poured in up and down the creek. Tomorrow should even be better.
