Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 45-50 Degrees
Hunted with the regular crew on Monday and Tuesday.
Monday was average out on the pond. We took mostly divers with Blackjacks, Ruddy’s and a Redhead in the bag. A couple of Smileys and Gad. The divers are pretty much educated now to stay at least 80 yards away from most cover. Enough still made mistakes to have a fun hunt.
Tuesday we changed locations and were hopefull for some wind and maybe new ducks out in front of the approaching storm. We got the wind but not much duck movement. However, the Greenwings couldn’t resist our set up and 10 died with the gear down.
I have to appologize to DQ now as I played a dirty trick on him with a FT Blank. That Mallard probably has broken eardrums now. 😉

Today was really slow at the begging and right as we were getting ready to pick up around 8:30 some snow geese decided to fly over thought they were pretty low so we took some shoots and ended up getting two so we just finished picking up and went home figured it was enough for dinner

I know this is Waterfowler.com but couldn’t resist posting results of Pheasant hunt in Western Kansas. We hunted Wed-Fri-Sat. Limited on long-tails and Quail all three days along with a whole bunch of guys from Florida,Kentucky-Missouri-Arkansas-Oklahoma and New Mexico. We had sufficient numbers to put on some big drives with plenty of blockers. It is amazing how many birds can be pushed if you have enough hunters. I had forgotton how much fun Pheasant hunting could be. Now time to get back after the quackers. Have hunt at Las Vegas Refuge on Dec.5. I’m a little leary after Marci’s post. I’m just wondering if they have very many honkers there yet???

Good Luck to Randy Marci.
He will be representing New Mexico this Saturday at the 71st Annual Championship Duck Calling Contest in Stuttgard. We all hope it goes well for you…..
Duckbag, thanks for the hint on the Maxwell area. It was a beautiful place but a little too open for me.

First time back to my blind in a couple weeks and there are definately more birds!
Went home with 4 mallards and a couple wigeon. Lots of birds flying late, 9am. They were destination minded, but regardless, there were a lot of them.
What a good year it’s going to be. God, I hope I didn’t just jinx it?
Happy T-Day to all, I”ll just be cooking for a little over a thousand while you guys are out bangin’ em.
SHOOT EM IN THE FACE!!!

Bombed by Divers–
Four of us got buzzed by large groups of BlackJacks all morning and took home diver/dabbler bag limits. Enough Mallards around to keep it interesting. Not bad for a windless and clear day.
While they may not be the finest table fare they certainly make for fine shooting. They will also run the legs off of DuckQuest when he goes after a cripple. Fun to watch that aquatic rodeo.
Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.

welllllllll……..put in for the las vegas dark goose hunt. never again. never fired a shot even though i had a flock of lessers in closer than anyone else fired a shot at. had one group of the big guys on a string and the blind down from me decided to put them back into scatter mode at about 75yds. up. what could possibly go through your mind when shootin at honks at that range. enough of my rant. i still love the oppotunities in this state. left the pit at 10:30 with not a shot fired. first zip of the season. back out monday tuesday and wednesday. gotta get my licks in before i head to arkansas for the worlds 1 week from today.

Norm,
The only time I’m going to hunt up there is when I know for sure were going to have some kind of weather. If you don’t the birds will get up in the morning, fly for 2 minutes, and raft back up.
Sun afternoon and Mon were good windy days that kept them moving and then it’s a great hunt.
I haven’t seen many geese up there also?, there usually thick up there by this time.
