Mostly Sunny, No Precipitation – 50-60 Degrees
Had to go to Reno today and saw a lot of ducks and a few geese in Washoe Valley in the small wetlands west of 395. It might be worth a try when the next storm comes through. Saw two trucks hunting the marsh on the south end, and one truck hunting further north, east of 395. I didn’t buy a Nevada license this year but have been hunting Honey Lake wildlife area near Susanville. It’s been a pretty good year so far with 20 ducks bagged in 3 days of hunting (mostly teal and wigeon and the one pintail each day). Last Wednesday, I could have shot 10-15 sprig……that sure is frustrating. But it’s always cool to watch them work. Praise the Lord, that’s for sure!

Cloudy, High Winds – 45-50 Degrees
Arrived before the wind really started blowing, and just after set up a hen mallard dropped in, but we let her pass…Then a drake Can., harvested! Then two drake mallards came out of nowhere, harvested, and then the wind came up! We, 3 of us, were in the wrong spot for a North wind. However, we still managed 10 birds with one gun fouled up most of the hunt only a single shot! Most of you know what it is like shooting is a high wind…it takes a few to figure it out…
Mostly drakes-2 Mallards, 2 Sprig, 1 Can, 1 Cinnamon, 1 Gad., 2 Bull spoonies, 1 hen cinnamon!
Great hunt, praise the Lord!

Lots of ducks on Nesbitt, mostly divers (Cans/Reds). Shot some puddle ducks, we had to be very patient and let them work. Most of the shots were long, +40 yards. The birds are hip to the hunters so they try to keep just out side the deekes. Good camo w/ some light calling was how we got 3 limits.

Mostly Cloudy, No Precipitation – 40-45 Degrees
Tried south end of Humboldt Sink Friday afternoon. Almost nothing but divers, and lots of them. Filled out with two redheads and two canvasbacks, but couldn’t find a dabbler to shoot. These are the fattest ducks I have ever shot…more fat than meat. About 700 swans now in the valley. Many are flying out of the Sink and toward Jessup, then in the evening they come back. Had several work my decoys, and three land in them.
Saturday hunted further north in Humboldt Lake area. Birds (almost all dabblers) not working same areas as in October. Many seem to now prefer the middle of the WMA, where a boat is essential. Observed thousands flying north but could not determine where they were headed. Assumed they were landing in the north end of Humboldt Lake, where a boat is essential also. One thing for sure – they weren’t interested in my decoys. Only shot one widgeon for the day.

Hunted this morning and was done by 8:00, with a limit of greenheads! They decoyed perfectly and showed no signs of flaring or swinging wide. There must have been a small migration in the last 3 days because there was not the same number of birds on monday as there was today, this morning was nothing short of amazing. The mallards are thick, extra thick, and they dont seem to have any education yet. I used 12 full body mallards and set up in an area with very little cover and only 1/2″-1″ of water. The finisher blind with teh neo-tub is the ticket. Heard a bunch of geese sitting in the distance but did not see any flying around. I will be going back in the morning hoping to duplicate today. Good luck!

Nice Nevada Day hunt for chukars…As NVChukar said, no one around. Two limits for two hunters. Ducks next weekend, maybe Sunday afternoon. Hey, NVChukar, send me an email at hunterox12@yahoo.com, please if you would? I have a question to ask you… I don’t want your secret spots, etc. I know they are between Mallard Bay and Pintail Point…as are mine…
Did see a few birds in the Humboldt Sink and Carson Sink…
