I don’t fool myself into thinking that we are keeping this place alive, but we are entertaining ourselves. Merry Christmas to the both of you and I hope you have many for feet down in your future:)

Merry Christmas Labs and DW! We are either the Three Kings or the Three Stooges! Probably stooges for trying to keep this joint alive!

Arctic Blast – 25-30 Degrees – Open Water
Made it out at about 11:30. Shot a limit of gadwalls. Couldn’t believe the weather!! Made for some easy shots though with the ducks just hovering over the water. Hopefully the wind will keep the water open for what should be an awesome hunt in the morning!!

We just thought the weather was bad this morning. Rain eased just enough to convince us to set up, then started again. Soon after the ducks showed and man did they want in. Oddly for us we shot pretty good in the high winds and rain. Ended up just a few short of four limits before nine when the rain finally got through the outer layers and we went for eggs and bacon. Slow ride back with lots of cars in the ditch. Be careful out there!

Cloudy, Occassional Rain Showers – 40-45 Degrees
We hit the right spot today. Started slow with singles and pairs again, but managed to get most of what came in. We had a brief flurry of ducks around 8:30 and nearly doubled our number. The wind shifted and we had to move the decoys a little, but we still had the wind mostly in our faces which made for going away shooting but we still managed to peck away and get to 21, just short of four limits. Just about half and half with Gadwall and Wigeon, with one Greenhead and one Redhead in the mix.
Numbers have been slowly improving this week. Hope this weather helps us out.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Well the boys are at it again. Nephews Matt and Wyatt called me frantic with duxs yesterday late morn. Found em and got permission to hunt so it was on. We shot 33 mallards and would have killed more if the younguns could shoot as good as they can scout!!! They were eating beans and we hit em on a farm pond next to the bean field. I just love my nephews!!!

In some ways is was back to the usual. Had some ducks early, but it shut off pretty quickly to just singles and pairs every thirty minutes or so. We had been shooting mostly Gadwall and Ringers with a few Wigeon and sometimes a Mallard to two. Today of the 11 we shot it was two GWT, one Wigeon and the rest Mallards, except for the sweet Pintail Drake the newbie shot. Quantity was not great, but the quality was! It seems like there are more ducks west of I-35 than we have here in central OK. It doesn’t look like that is going to change anytime soon.

Didn’t see a lot this morning. Had a few in the dekes before legal. Heard some yahoos to the north shooting way early and our birds got up and left. Not much flying to speak of. We got some doubles and singles in and made the best of it. Ended up with 6 ducks and 1 goose. The goose should not have made another pass after we missed with the first 5 shots!!!
