Well, another season has come and gone. As I sit in the house today, drinking coffee, spending time with the family and watching it snow, I am content with this past season.
I shot more ducks on a personal level than I had in years past. I finished with 66 birds with 2 bands. Best part of all, is I killed birds in all parts of the state this year. I actually was able to shoot a limit of BWT on opening day of teal season, a first. I shot my first redhead. Saw tons of redhead and canvasbacks this year.
Although I never saw a real heavy push of birds, most places were steady with birds.
I was able to take my 5 year old daughter out a few times this year.
My old chessie, Sadie, retrieved more birds than ever and really filled her role as the meat dog this year. She is 6 and due to injuries when she was younger, is now in semi retirement.
Right now, I have a 7 week old chocolate male sleeping by my side. I look forward to the many birds that he will retrieve in his time and the joy that he will bring to the hunt.
I wish we would have been able to hook up for a group hunt this year, but by the time that we got a decent number of birds down, the season was almost over. There will always be next year.
Can’t wait until September, when it will start all over again!!

South Central Central OK 01-29-2011 12:53
Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 45-50 Degrees
Well surprisingly the last two days have been pretty good shoots. We are still holding better than average numbers here in Central OK for the weather we are having. Usually the ducks get pretty stale, that is we have ducks that are almost residents, they have been here so long. They get pretty hard to hunt, but we are down to only using a few decoys or none and do no calling. If you pick the right place you will get your shots. Yesterday was 20 or so for 5 guns. Today 10 of us split and hit three different ponds in the area and nearly everyone limited. Pretty unusual for this late. More geese in the area than I have seen in a years. Only one more day

Greenhound! I heard that you moved to Okieland. Give me a shout. I might be able to point you in the right direction of some good hunting areas.

Quick 5-man limits today on one of the few ponds without ice. The few ponds that had open water had good numbers so I don’t see a big push of our ducks moving out right now. Most of the ponds were showing signs of thawing out this afternoon. In our area it seems we have a few more late season ducks than the past few years,

Hey Greenhound, Welcome! As was said there are some decent public hunting areas down there, depending on where in SW OK you will be Mountain Park WMA is one you might check. Best place to start may be at the state wildlife department website; wildlifedepartment.com . Hurry though, only a few weeks left.
We seem to be holding a few more ducks here in central/southcentral OK than we usually do this late in the season. Six of us shot 21 today. It was on early, but this pond has no cover at all around it so as the light grew, the ducks stayed out of range, although we did see good numbers and quite a few geese as well.
I hope we don’t freeze out in the next few days.

Look around Fredrick there is alot of farm land and ponds to hunt. You just have to bang on some doors to get permission.

Thanks labs, I look forward to getting out and getting plugged in. I’d like to do some traveling around the state and hunt different spots. What are some good DU banquets around the state?

Welcome Greenhound!! I don’t believe any of us do any hunting in that part of the state. There is a nice WMA down there though, called Hackberry Flats. Good luck!!
I have been shooting a few birds, but it seems most have been here awhile and know the routine. Hopefully we will pick up a few new birds before it gets too cold on us.
Were we still going to try to do that group hunt?
