I haven’t been south of Abq on the river in a few weeks. We got tied up chasing honkers and qual. Does anyone know if the conservancy changed the key on the bosque as of yet? Posted By: seeker28 Guest Reever 01-17-2008 20:31 – – 0-10 Degrees – Ice Called in sick and went out at 11. Nothing for first 2 hrs. and then the sky opened up with mallards and widgeon. Done in 20 minutes with 3 doubles. Packed up and they were still coming. End is near but may be a hot finish.

Posted By: seeker28 Guest 12-31-2007 10:48 – – – Happy New Year back ‘Holic!! Streak is still intact 😉 Hunts have been slow this week. Has been a push of birds into the ABQ area to the BC refuge. Big storm up in CO. MIGHT see new birds for the new year. Then again, we MIGHT not! Stay safe everyone. Duckbag………..fed your recipe to a bunch of non hunters……they thought it was the best and gobbled it up. I think its the best too! Made 2lbs or so of that rub for future use. Mmmmmmmmmmm!

Posted By: duckbag Web Member 12-18-2007 16:26 – – – #1 Yes you can hunt, but need to check the specific area cause a lot of it is closed to hunting. #2 No, not worth the drive unless your into spooners, teal and wigeon. The lake has no duck food to hold the ducks here. If the state would regulate the water a little better we’d be o.k., but the lake is dead and no cover close to the water.

Posted By: duckbag Web Member Maxwell area 11-13-2007 10:30 – – – Somebody finally figured out how to hunt my hole and hunted it Sat evening, I’m sure til dark! Don’t hunt the Roost you dumb schitts! they also left soda cans, water bottles, lots of hulls and candy wrappers! I knew something was wrong when I pulled in and no ducks were on the hole, then I dicovered the trash. I was a little POed to say ther least. Remember, if you hunt the roost til DARK, they will NOT come back, give them at least the last half hour of light to funnel in. Anywho, there not a lot of ducks left in the area, sounds like they all went to Seekers hole. Hunted the river at pena yesterday, saw a few hundred ducks, but only one group of wigeons wanted to play. I think the weekend skybusters… Continue reading

Posted By: seeker28 Guest 11-03-2007 19:06 – – – Unfortunately there were a couple of slobs who left a case of empty beer cans and bottles plus all their shells at a spot down south. We cleaned up their mess and hope they are only early season types. Wish some wardens would do some patrolling and pop guys like this more often. Guarantee they were guilty of more than drinking and hunting. Last hunt was sloooooooow but some mallard groups did work very nice. River flow is being brought up and refuges are getting more H2O. Careful where you wade if you haven’t scouted! Birds ain’t here quite yet but the hunting has still been good so far if you are where they want to be. Call’em, Kill’em, Let the Dog Get’em.

Posted By: Greenhound Web Member 10-07-2007 19:09 – – – So let’s here some reports from the north zone opener. Pretty warm out eh? How were the birds looking out there, any here yet? Posted By: duckbag Web Member 10-04-2007 16:53 – – – Yeah D, I saw that huge sucker, I might have to slide down there in pre-dawn and see if they have take-out burritos!!! It’s in a great spot and will screw up some of the birds that lock up on my spread, but not all of them. Posted By: dbercier Guest 10-03-2007 12:55 – – – Lane, I was on the west side of the river and saw someone built a real big blind on the east side right at the edge of that ladies land between the two islands.

Posted By: John-Prentice Field Editor Eastern New Mexico 09-15-2007 22:31 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees Three limits of Teal(Blues and Greens) for three shooters way East. Calm winds didn’t help a lot as the birds weren’t moving much. Great just to get out. Maybe the rain predicted for the first of the week will stir things up a little. Posted By: Mr Drake Guest 09-13-2007 13:41 – – – “Hey” Duane, and Lane, Been too busy with the ranch and the slave yard to even go dove hunting. Our chili fields are crazy with dove. i’ve got to go pick up chili today maybe i’ll get the dog and my 20. We took a 370 Bull off our place the other day! Hope one will still be there when i get to go. The bucks, and Bulls are HUGE this year. There is a good number… Continue reading

Hunted near Kenton,Oklahoma on private ranch. Got the Merriam’s gobbler that I was after. The Tom weighed 22lbs and had short beard(4-5 inch) and nubbin spurs. Seems the rocks in the area wear them down. Saw a Bobcat and Coyote try to catch a Turkey but ended up with rabbits. Saw a ton of Elk on the Oklahoma side of the border-Oklahoma… Continue reading
