Hello All,

I’ve been waterfowling for 16 years, mostly in New Mexico and some in Louisiana. I’ve had some phenomenal hunts out here but I am moving to southwest Oklahoma next week. I’d like to start scouting the southwest part of the state for some places to hunt. Would anyone mind giving me a few leads? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Numbers seem to be on the increase a little. I took a day trip to SC OK yesterday and saw quite a few ducks on ponds. This may or may not mean we have more ducks where I hunt, but this morning it sure looked like it. I threw out two decoys on a string line and hunkered down on the bank. Right a legal they started in small groups one after the other. It was a real air show and I picked out six in about 20 minutes. Checked a few other ponds on the property and they are holding good numbers also. I hope this front doesn’t blow them out.

As far as hunting ponds here in centralsouthcentral OK. There are ducks around and they have been here for a while. Typically we are getting fair numbers in early and then next to nothing after 9:00 or so. Today was typical, we had some in early then as the light got up the ducks would set at the far end of the pond. The wind was a little off (set up for NE, got E to SE) and that didn’t help. Any of our ponds are good for a few to 10 or so. If its one or two guys its a pretty good shoot if three or more, its still good, but you won’t get the number of shots. Scouted ponds after hunting today and saw decent numbers on most of our spots; anywhere from a half dozen to 20-30.

My dirty little Grinch heart came up with the evil plan to sneak off today and hunt by myself on a pond that hasn’t been shot this year.

Greed is good. Had ducks hitting the water before I was loaded but got going and started picking them off. I had five real quick and had to wait for the sixth, but finished around eight. 4 Gadwall, 1 Can and 1 Jack. Fast, furious and over quick.

sorry, havent posted in a few days. Hit and miss, mostly mallards. Did manage to shoot a quick 20 minute 2 man this morn. Having to drive all over to find birds but have shot limits most days out. Stinks driving for 2 hours to shoot a few ducks and driving back again but there is simply no water very close by. Maybe this front will finally bring us some rain.

Hunted my Uncles place in Wayne today. Not a shot fired. Saw some flying, but nothing wanted to play.

It just seems like there are more divers around and less puddlers. I believe it is due to the lack of vegetation and what water is left is deep. Now if someone had a flooded low lying area, with plenty of vegetation, they should be covered up in green and gray.

Shot a pond near Paoli today. Just picked at singles and doubles and ended up with 6 for 3 guns; 4 Gadwall, 1 Greenhead and 1 Can.

Labs, we have not seen as many Jacks as we usually do but last two hunts have shot Cans which is usually pretty rare for the ponds we shoot.

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 25-30 Degrees – Open Water
Had a lot of birds in before LST. Not much flying after that. Shot 1 gadwall and 2 redheads.

Is it just me or does it seem like there are a lot more divers around this year? Seems to me that since our water is way low in most areas, the puddle ducks are blowing through.

Went to Foss yesterday and hunted geese on the refuge. As usual saw lots but got very few in range. Two of us shot three Cacklers, but it was still a good time.

Shot a watershed near Wayne today. For some reason this pond has been high all year and is just now starting to drop some, but it still has more water in it than I have seen in the last 4-5 years. It has some flooded timber and the Woodies have been roosting on it. We got good action for about the first half hour and shot one Canvasback, one Pintail and six Gadwall. Should have had more, but thats the way it always goes. After that no more ducks. We did see pretty good numbers on a couple of other ponds nearby.

I hunted the flood control in Lindsay on Sat. Birds were moving well at first light. About 150 birds were roosted on one side of the flood control and came up and off at the first shot. We shot VERY poorly. Should have had a 2 man limit, but ended up with only a Hen Canvasback and 3 gadwalls.

Hunted my uncles in Wayne today. Not much moving. I thought that the cold front would bring some birds. If it did, they were not in the Wayne area. Although we did not see even a 10th of the birds that I saw on Sat, we made the shots count. We managed to shoot 3 Blackjacks, 3 Hollywoods and a drake gadwall.

I hope we pick up some birds this week.
