New York Duck and Goose Hunting Report Archive

Posted By: Mike-Bard Guest CNY 05-07-2008 09:48 – – – I’ve had trouble being in the right place at the right time myself with these spring turkeys. I’ve had limited time to get out, but no success yet. Posted By: George-Ruland Field Editor Delaware Co. and Shinnecock Inlet 05-07-2008 05:50 – – – Back from 6 days of scouting and hunting the bearded devil in up state NY. Did not connect, yet, as a combination of cold temps, high winds, heavy fog, and rain kept the birds quiet and spooky… . Very few shots were fired for the first 4 days of the season in the area I was hunting. The birds have been very quiet and changing patterns for the past week and a half. Did enjoy being afield, as will as, the good company of some good friends. Did catch some fine looking trout and pickerel during the… Continue reading

Posted By: desert duck Web Member South Fork Reservoir 10-24-2011 18:32 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees Jump shooting from a canoe in the weedy West side. More Gadwall than mallards. Hunting is fair. Here’s an oddball sighting: Got out on the island to stretch my legs & let the dog take a leak. Flushed a pair of pheasant on the island!? No row crops for 50+ miles & we must be 5700 feet elevation. Go figure!!

I have never hunted it, but have been told that it can be quite good… Continue reading

Posted By: Miamonkey Guest all over 01-26-2007 15:20 – – – I agree with Hunterox, in regards to more of you who read this site and never post. In the past this site was a great tool to find out what others are doing and where birds were moving in and out of. This year has benn a banner year for me, it would be nice to know how everyone else is doing. Posted By: hunterox Guest Northern Nevada 01-21-2007 11:42 – – 35-40 Degrees Ice, Ice and more Ice, but the birds are still around… Two of us shot 14 GWT in a couple of hours. The shooting was fast and challenging at the same time. We had a photographer friend of ours with us, so we hope he got some great action shots. Maybe next week, he’ll be using a gun? We had a great time! Its too… Continue reading

Posted By: Norm-Saake Web Member Jessup Flat 12-05-2006 11:57 – – – Below are the results fo the aerial survey on Jessup Flat for Novemeber 24th. Swan numbers were high, but duck numbers remain much less than expected for this area considering the amount of feed available here. Most of the swans were observed on the south sink portion of the area. Access is still limited because of the high water, but water levels are dropping here.

Posted By: TahoeTeal Guest Washoe Valley 11-15-2006 19:55 Mostly Sunny, No Precipitation – 50-60 Degrees Had to go to Reno today and saw a lot of ducks and a few geese in Washoe Valley in the small wetlands west of 395. It might be worth a try when the next storm comes through. Saw two trucks hunting the marsh on the south end, and one truck hunting further north, east of 395. I didn’t buy a Nevada license this year but have been hunting Honey Lake wildlife area near Susanville. It’s been a pretty good year so far with 20 ducks bagged in 3 days of hunting (mostly teal and wigeon and the one pintail each day). Last Wednesday, I could have shot 10-15 sprig……that sure is frustrating. But it’s always cool to watch them work. Praise the Lord, that’s for sure!

Posted By: nvchukar Supporting Member Humboldt WMA 10-28-2006 09:27 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 60-65 Degrees Another great shoot at Humboldt. Easy limit of seven drakes – baldpates (4), gaddies (2), and sprig (1). Large numbers of Canvasbacks from a week ago have almost entirely left the area. Swans still a no show. Goose numbers have increased, with many sitting on the alkili flats at night and flying into the marsh after sunrise. Still little hunting pressure – on this Nevada Day, a holiday for many, heard only one other hunter who was in Humboldt Lake with an airboat. Thanks to everyone for not going there to hunt – it is keeping the ducks uneducated. I guess people would rather eat white meat like chukar, but they don’t decoy quite as well.
