Sunny & Clear, High Winds – 10-20 Degrees – Ice
Hunt safe…: NOTE: Ice is everywhere. Take caution. // NOTE: You can get hypothermia without getting wet… . One of the regular symptoms of hypothermia is that you don’t think straight… . You must plan ahead. You can always take off clothing. Better to be over dressed. Jackets for the dogs are a must now too. Enjoy, GNR.

Since the “blizzard” there’s been a few changes in the way the geese are responding here on the East End. I’ve noticed the grass fields are attracting large numbers, birds are very wary and it’s taking a lot longer to take our limits. PLENTY of geese around, just have to be patient in the corn fields.
Our last two hunts have been trying, but successful. Have seen a few Snows in the mix also. Good luck with the remaining season.

Bellport Bay was almost frozen accross yesterday AM. Looked like Southaven Park would not be open today. As of say 10 AM the blind roads weren’t plowed. They used to let it be open to those with 4×4 or walk ins… . Call the ranger station… . New geese and ducks have ben arriving as of yesterday, late AM. North shore should begin to pick up.. . Still alot of birds down west. South fork corn lots are cooking. Hunt safe. GNR

Cloudy, Accumulating Snow – 25-30 Degrees – Open Water
High winds have continued to hamper time spent afield. Now snow and icreasing amounts of ice are doing the same. Most large bodies of water remain open. Smaller creeks and Bays are freezing. Think safety first. Scout and take time to watch areas you plan to acces first. Be mindful of tides, wind direction, and moving ice. // Check out the first conservationists….. on the NY FORUM… .

Hunted a corn field last Tuesday morning. We got off two quick shots on mallards just after legal shooting time with nothing to show for it, but that changed. Not much longer the geese began to fly and by 9:30 all five of us had limited out. A lot more geese around the east end now so gunning should be good. Happy Holidays!

Birds are beginning to migrate south. Small flocks flying from sun up to around 1000 am. Mostly mallads with some blacks. Rivers are freezing fast, don’t expect to be able to shoot the areas of standing water much longer. If using steel recommend larger shot, BB and #2.
Geese did not fly in the morning, did see more activity in the afternoon while deer hunting, but not the number that was expected from earlier in the week. No snows have been seen the past five days.
