Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 40-45 Degrees
Tis’ the season to be jolly! Geese, Geese and more white geese are on the move. Last night and again tonight they appeared as the sun set. With Clear skies and moon light, they are moving down coast to jump the bay for Delmarva. Black geese were only flying the early morning. The ducks should not be far behind as the ice gets settle in up north. GWTeal are back in good numbers out Griscom. I haven’t seen more than one or two at a time the last two weeks …this morning I was done gunning in an hour and they were four of the six birds. Next day out is Thursday …it should all come together just nicely. The ice up north should move the birds with clear moon light skies at night. The day will start almost dead low rising the morning and keeping them moving and looking for a meal … feels like Christmas already!

Hunted alone in cut corn and soy fields.Several hundred geese moved in from river and limited out quickly. Many fields still in standing corn. Could use freezing temps and dry weather.

Things are starting to look pretty good. My son and I spent about an hour at the Wallkill River Refuge Impoundment on the NY/NJ border just before dusk. We saw literally hundreds of mallards, woodies and teal as well as geese. They were coming in in large groups.

Greetings from the flatlands down jersey! Last week the BWTeal had piled up thick but with the heavy frost Thursday, Friday and Saturday the only memory is the posted picture.http://img179.imageshack.us/my.php?image=20061002griscom001lj6.jpg
Sprig and some GWTeal have been moving in and out of Swan Pond but not in any great numbers. http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=20061020spgwtealswnpdsn8.jpg
Blacks and Mallards have been moving steady on Middle and South river out to Great Egg … but I don’t give the harbor Mallards much thought until their strong hold drainage ditches freeze up.
Some high flying black and white geese moving with a nice tail wind tonight … should make the Delmarva by midnight.
We will see if more birds come in with the front tonight in the am … safe hunting.

Went out this morning got 1 woodie drake shot at a few teal. Still not many mallards flying. Going to try it again tomorrow morning. Hopefully the Cooler weather will start bringing in the mallards.
