Had a great youth hunt on a lake near the Mighty Miss. Saturday, one kid got a 6-duck limit of 3 gads, 2 mallards, and 1 merganser. Sunday, two kids got 6 gadwalls – could have gotten more, but it was difficult with the wind-direction and one of the kids got cold.

Well, until the last couple of weeks, it’s been pretty weak. Youth hunt should be good, though, as huge numbers of ducks are reported. We’ll see tomorrow.

I’ve hunted several times, and there is just too much water for too few ducks. I have not been skunked, but I haven’t shot any limits yet either. We need some serious cold up north and we need the water levels to drop. Fortunately, it looks like we’re getting the latter, so now we just need the ducks to show up.

Opening weekend was cloudy and warm. Not too many birds – I think it hasn’t been cold enough yet. Big thunderstorms scattered the ducks that were around.
Ironically, out spot near the St. Francis didn’t get the rain, and it’s short of water.
Big, slow-moving storm moved through yesterday. Temp dropped about 20 degrees. Looks like the coming week should be an improvement.

Had the pleasure of hunting with professional guide, Allen Smith (Reelfoot Guide) in the Wood duck, Teal season. We hunted the famous Grassy Bend hole that has been in the family over 100 years. This is a killing hole…not a hunting hole. Woodies and Teal worked the spread like Mallards. Thank you for fabulous hunting and can not wait for the upcoming duck season.

the early wood duck and teal season was a hit. we enjoyed hunting sep10 thru sep14 season on reelfoot and was very fortunate. we harvested our limit on wood ducks and teal every day. wednesday morning the teal showed up in big numbers and we limited out 9 hunters. had some awesome teal shooting with the opportunity to shoot on bunches of 20 plus birds. lots of fun

Found a pretty good group of Wood Ducks feeding in a wet spot near the river. Slipped in Sunday morning and killed a pair right after legal shooting time. Watched the Woodies work the spot for and hour hoping maybe a teal or two would show up but they didn’t. Two groups of Gaddies circled but didn’t land. May have to hit this hole again befor the season closes.
