Well there’s been a push of birds through the area. I haven’t seen many geese but some fresh ducks are obvious with good numbers of Mallards in the area. I shot a nice drake while hunting pheasants that turned out to be banded. He was a Saskatchewan duck. We are still waiting for the corn to be harvested from the field that I leased so we can put the pit in. Hopefully the nice weather will allow the harvest to move along and we can do our work before it gets cold and the geese get here. If they get here.

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 45-50 Degrees
Made it to the blind Sat morn. Still trying to get enough water pumped to cover the piping. No ducks (and I mean ‘nothing’). Figured that the 1st day of pheasant season would get some birds moving around — nope. We had a decent early teal season, with scads of woodies working the pond. It seems that all of the local birds pushed out with the high winds a couple of weeks back. Nothing has made its way into the area to take their place.
Sunday morning, with a ill kid, I stayed home and have heard a lot of shooting on the Elkhorn near Gretna. Unfortunately, that could mean a decent number of ducks or just a couple of birds that keep swinging past every blind on the river … hard telling.

Cloudy, Light Rain & Drizzle – 40-45 Degrees
Hunting on the bottoms up tell yesterday has been hit and miss. It has been so dry that most of the action has been at first light with the birds that are getting kicked off of the flooded ponds. Yesterday there was a push of new birds into the area and several blinds shot ducks. Harvest is 95% complete and a lot of fields have been plowed.
Its all about Ducks, Dogs, and Kids

Water conditions here in the northwest corner of Nebraska continued to deteriorate many small streams and ponds have dried up. I drove around and checked six or seven ponds yesterday and found no birds on them. A few reports I have from opening weekend report for poor to fair success. Corn harvest is just getting underway here in the West

Seeing some greenheads and divers. My dad inlaw heard some cranes last evening, first l have heard of so far. Sounds like we have some good #s this year. Maybe the birds will hang more by the river since the sandhills are so dry. One week and counting. Good luck all. Brian

People who have water are shooting some teal. Still very dry, what little rain we have had has done little to nothing to fill anything up.
