Cloudy, High Winds – 40-45 Degrees
I gave up on ducks in New Mexico and headed to old stomping grounds from childhood days in Western Oklahoma. Shot the daylights out of quackers in several varieties. It is so much fun to decoy hunt on upstream flood impoundments. Not a bunch of yahoos poaching off of your decoy spread like they do on the Rio south of Albuquerque. It was quite windy and the ducks would set up for landing from way out. Just a matter of being patient and letting the birds work in for attempted sit downs. A week of hunting here is more fun than a whole season in the Land of Enchantment.”Go Sooners”.

chrisc99,
I’m not wanting to start anything, you have a great spot up there to hunt. I know I heard at least 50 shots that morning, maybe you had some guys to the North of you????
As for your kids, put some camo netting around them like a blanket, or just some dull colors. I watch the ducks flare up that way almost all the time. When they see that, then nobody in the area will have a chance. There definately seeing something they don’t like and Im sure it’s not your dekes, they look fine.
Your more than welcome to hunt the blind where I’m at, it’s pretty big and would be nice for the kids. I usually only hunt it Mon-Wed.
Merry X-Mas to all and may you shoot lots of ducks!!
I’m gonna head your way Monty, maybe this Tuesday. I’ll try calling you.

Have limited on Ducks every time that i have gone out. Had to stop for ten days for dogs stitches to heel.
New Gator trax Hide is the deal.
Over 360 snows/Ross for us so far for the season, best is yet to come.
Three Monster Mulies from New Mexico, Colorado, and Montana Smallest was 27″ 10 point.
It has been a great year so far!
Duane when is the due date on the mounts?
Headed back to colorado in January, Unit 20 Elk Estes Park area.
Duckbag, Glad to hear that the canada spot is still available to you and Rick.
I may end up with 25,000+ acres over there.
Merry Christmas !

Duckbag that was me with my kids. I don’t know if you would understand but I am not able to buy heavy camo jackets for my two sons who are 5 and 7. My most important consideration is that they stay warm so they won’t be miserable. this is why they wear their regular heavy jackets (one red, one blue). they know that when I tell them, they are to get down and not move at all. that’s the best I can do. do you have kids duckbag? if you did, then you’d know that its very hard to get them to stay still for a long time with no ducks flying. I let them wander a little after about 8:30 because there was no action. by the way, I shot 4 times the whole morning and I wasn’t the one with the christmas lights. am i still a “yehoo” duckbag? if so, then I am really glad you didn’t come to “confront” me because I don’t need any of your “pointers”.

That must have been the yehoos parked next to the river. Those boys need some help, they had to fire 2 boxes of shells, at least! And…. they were NOT shooting at ducks. I felt the need to confront them and tell them to go somewhere else for target practice, but I knew it would only end with a blow-out, so I left it alone.
They stand out in the wide open, had a young one with them in a RED coat and the other guy had some other type of COLORED clothes on.
I’d like to help people/hunters like that, but I feel like they would not take to someone giving them pointers??? The sad thing is that they are teaching there young that it is o.k. to sky-bust and hunt in blaze orange???
