Too warm–a couple of divers (jacks) and the same two mallards that have avoided being shot all season is all that they are seeing on the big water. I might try the backwaters of the Savannah next week when it is supposed to cool down.

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 45-50 Degrees
Went North to hunt for swans, sea ducks, puddle ducks and divers. Hunted and stayed with some great people around Lake Mattamuskeet. Punched my first tundra swan, thanks to Terry R. and spent the rest of the week shooting ringnecks, bluebills, wood ducks, wigeons, buffleheads and a surf scoter. Great hunting overall, incredibly beautiful country.
Special thanks to Terry R., Joe P. and family (Theresa and Sophia), Jimmy, John H., Ryan T and the Mrs. Leona P. for taking me in on short notice.

Went scouting on some public land today and saw a pile of ducks.
200+ mallards
1 pintail drake
3 dozen GWT
3 dozen Ringnecks
2 dozen mergs and buffs
2 or 3 gadwalls
And 30+ sandhill cranes, yes sandhill cranes, not sure if you can kill them in SC, but they are here. I couldn’t believe my eyes, I watched them for 30+ minutes. They came within 40 yards of me, coulda blistered ’em.

SW Local Ponds 12-21-2005 08:55

Action has slowed considerably since the opener. Local birds are avoiding the ponds where they’ve seen a lot of artillery fire. I noted the first pair of buffleheads on my pond in my backyard. I guess we’ve hit peak migration in SC.
