As for Field Editors not posting-I just got back from waterfowl trip to the Sooner state. I was worn out from shooting ducks. Eight days-eight limits. Talk about shooting them in the lip. We had birds at 15 yds. Shooting low base 1 oz 6’s and tearing them to pieces. Will try to get out next week depending on the new storm. Not much fun fighting the crowds when you can have a shoot all to yourself. Most days we limited within 15 minutes.

The ‘Holic and I were out this a.m. Widgeon wacking at its’ finest. Also got some teal, gaddy and mallard. Everything died in the decoys or the jungle. We were sitting at 11 birds when we had 100+ widgeon go feet down for the decoys. It was a shame to fire a single shot with that big a group so close in! Oh well, I picked out a drake and hammered him.
Lots of birds moving of the puddling variety. Didn’t see another hunter. Birds were still locking in after we pulled the spread. Gotta love January in NM during the week.
Been out chasing deer or we woulda put something in sooner.

Boy, this state site is really sucking hind these past couple months.
Is it just a lurker thing here in NM?
We don’t here crap from our “Field Editors” on duck movements. Nothing.
Well, I’ll just keep posting. Had a great Sunday and Monday down south on the lake. No mallards??, there hiding somewhere? Lots of teal and divers around, and lots of pinnies.
I would assume that what we have now is all were going to get til the end of the season.
Going out this weekend for Canadas and hopefully a few ducks.
SHOOT EM IN THE FACE!!!
Heading to

Darn COLD!, -5 degrees yesterday morning. The ducks are froze out of there lake and ponds and are on the river, which made two great hunting days.
The roads to the river are bad and you have to walk the last 200 yards with all your gear to get there. The trees are down all over the place, which made for a tough time.
North season almost over, so get out there and bang’em.
Heading south for the rest of the season, were down to the last 24 days.
SHOOT EM IN THE FACE!!

hunted yesterday afternoon for what we have since titled “kill whitey-volume 1” a buddy and i decided to chase them snows and ross’ and see what we could do to help out the tundra. well it turned into the most sucessful light goose hunt i have been on. we got set at about 2:30PM and waited. it took all of about 5 minutes till 3 ross dove into the spread. none left. for the next 2 hours ross mostly and 2 snows fell to the report of 12 guages. when the dust cleared we had 29 down. i got my first neck collar with a leg band and my partner got a leg band with the last ross we picked up. my bird was banded in Nunavut Canada in august of 05. that’s way up almost to greenland. wow, these birds sure do make a trip every year. gonna let ’em rest and back to them on sunday afternoon.

with the new year, comes the same frustrations. in the birds thick one day, gone the next. it sure oes make for a good time though when you figure out the why’s and where’s. i do, however, need a little help from fellow posters and or lurkers.
as many know i will never divulge the spots i hunt on an open forum. that being said i will tell this spot as it is not a real secret and or honey hole. on monday, 1/1/07, a buddy had gone north from the los lunas bridge toward the isleta border. he parked his white ford plenty far enough off the side of the road and went out hunting. when he returned to his truck, he found that another hunter had slid into the side of it and had broken off the mirror and tail light and dented in the bed pretty good. this other “hunter”, see slob, decided to just pick up the pieces and put them in the back of my buddies truck. if anyone knows anything about this, i would appreciate a p.m. now i know there wasn’t much the guy could have done. but he could have at least left a note with contact info.
hope everyone has a good new year and i’m gettin ready to load up and head out for the afternoon.

Went to old standby pond this a.m. and at LST were swarmed by Gadwalls. Nephew and I took two limits in about 15 minutes. It is fun but over with too quick. Snowing like the dickens but birds came in without a hitch. Almost too easy. One more day and then back to the Land of Enchantment. Have to work for a few days and then back afer the quackers again.

Happy New Year’s to all of you. Please be careful when hunting the Rio from now on until the end of the season. With all of the snow that we have been getting, the river should be at unusually high levels making it very dangerous.
Chili and I continue to have fun when it comes to duck hunting. Lord only knows how much I love this sport.
My new spot continues to produce ducks that makes every hunt there special beyond belief. One of the highlights for this season so far was being able to take “duckbag” out and share the blind with him. It was just plain fun.
Bev and I just returned from the Upper Midwest, Wisconsin in particular, and it is rather frightening how warm it is up there. Milwaukee had areas where the Canadas were landing on green grass lawns to eat. There is much open water and only one small area of the state that had some accumulated snow. In fact, there is more snow here than anywhere up there.
Be careful everyone and my wish for you is that 2007 will be special. Make it count. Al Hansen
