Happy New Year back ‘Holic!! Streak is still intact 😉
Hunts have been slow this week. Has been a push of birds into the ABQ area to the BC refuge. Big storm up in CO. MIGHT see new birds for the new year. Then again, we MIGHT not!
Stay safe everyone.
Duckbag………..fed your recipe to a bunch of non hunters……they thought it was the best and gobbled it up. I think its the best too! Made 2lbs or so of that rub for future use. Mmmmmmmmmmm!

Thanks, Duckbag, for the response. I was almost tempted to blow off the rest of the season, alfter all, its a long drive from Santa Fe for a couple of ducks–but naaaaa. Gotta do this while I still can. A brace would be enough. Sucks, just bein’ out would be enough. Lo and behold I ended up with six. Just goes ta show ya neva know. One GW drake, one bull, and the rest Mallards. Needed just two more and tried to pick the GH out of a bunch of three. Got him but a hen did a morning dove like swoop behind the drake and one shot did them both in. I have no big problem taking an occasional jenny, but that was the first this year. Fortunately, I have learned the folly of wearing cotton as I fell in the river for a grand finale and by the time I got back the to truck, my cuff was frozen to my watch and the rest of me was none too comfortable. This is the life. Sakes alive, I can’t understand why someone would trade real adventure for a remote.

You may or may not be getting out of the cold at that time. It’s not over freezing there today and getting into the single digits at night.
You just can’t tell with the NM weather.
I wish I could help, but that’s about the deal.

I was thinking about heading to Albuquerque the end of Jan. How warm would it be there then. I’m from Wisconsin and would be looking to get out of the cold.

It’s not you katwon; there are not a lot of ducks this year. Don’t wait for the big push, cause it ain’t gonna happen.
#’s are below the average at the BDA, so if there not there, there not anywhere.
Hunting for me was great til Dec., then it has sluffed. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still killing limits, just not big mallards,
mostly wigeon for Dec.
I did however get an early X-mas present on Sunday in the form of a banded buck sprig!
If you do your scouting/homework, you can still have epic hunts.

Cloudy, Snow & Rain Mix – 35-40 Degrees
Been working overtime and haven’t hunted much this year. Tried ’em on the Middle Friday. Flared the first bunch and wasted one shell. Two for two, greenies, and then nothing. Is it my imagination or are there less ducks down this year? I remember when the “Big Push” came about Nov 15, then it moved to after Thanksgiving, then the first 10 days of Dec–did it even happen this year?

Ducks–kind of hit a lull the past few weeks. Still killing ducks but the flights are smaller. Mallards still #1 in the bags. Haven’t been to the WMA’s but heard diver hunting could be good while getting peppered.
Geese- Took the wife up North for her first goose hunt. She likey!!! Killed her first goose, stayed warm and comfy, and got to see 300 or so come to the spread all at once. She thought it was “Neat”.
Merry Christmas to everyone who still visits. Guess the site is losing people heavy.
Call’em, Kill’em, Let the Dog Get’em.
