Been gone for awhile, was wondering how the fields were doing. Hitting the pit this weekend as the lake will probably freeze over.

I was one of the volleys on tellico some high ducks moving from the refuges to farm pond. there has been alot of water creeks out of there banks. its hard to kill ducks when all the low spots full of water.

Cloudy, Occassional Rain Showers – 35-40 Degrees
Sad to see so few hunters posting. Every state around us does so much better; maybe everyone here in TN not on the MS has quit hunting but I doubt it.
Hunted Sat and Sun. Sat with my 8yr old daughter and 5 yr son. Both have lifetime sportsman’s lic and love to get out. Three volleys from Watts bar, four volleys from Tellico. We saw close to 100 mallards in 8-10 flocks. I get the sharp eyes to count.
Geese are still grouped up but six pairs did come through.
No shots Sat. but took a goose Sun. with the 5yr old. Only two volleys from Watts Bar. Can tell they quit dumping corn for the sand hills. Watched close to 5-600 work the valley for 5 hours. Trashing the rye fields and the two farmers I talked to are not happy. Never seen so many so I guess Hiwassee is grain-less and probably no ducks there. No whoopers seen.

Hate to hear that. I used to have that problem until we laser planed jerk that drains naturally saving the levee.

Cloudy, Heavy Fog – 60-65 Degrees
This past Friday, Dec. 26, three of us hunted flooded millet from a stand of trees in the middle of the field. Fog was thick and the ceiling was low. There were plenty of birds around, but we heard far more than we saw.
Birds worked but seemed to dislike coming too low in the fog. Still, we shot singles, pairs, and a couple of small groups to get three 6-bird limits.
Besides the mosquitos, when the temp got into the 60’s, the tree frogs decided to come out and serenade us. That was weird, and it took a minute or two to figure out what the noise was.

Sunny & Clear, High Winds – 25-30 Degrees – Open Water
Hunted Sunday before the temp dropped too much (it was about 27, and I saw no ice). I saw a few ducks when I went in, then nothing. I think (hope) they had moved ahead of the front that is now finishing up dumping rain on us. It’s 70 degrees out. WTH?!
Going to Bayou DeView on Friday. Will report.
