The 9th – looked good early with lots of Mallards and Wood Ducks, though once the sun came up things slowed down. Hunted to about noon. We took two woodies; wow am I a bad shot. No teal, lots of geese! Heard the northern part of the lake was hot.

Hunted first light to about 9:30 or so, on Saturday the 5th . We took two woodies and one mallard. There were a fair number of birds around, mostly wood ducks and teal, but lots of pressure. Once the sun came up things settled down and not much was flying. Lots of high flying geese heading south. Tomorrow is the big day on the lake!

Spent a week in Vermont tracking down the ever elusive Canada Goose. What did I find, plenty of geese. The skies were full along Champlain and the nearby East and Dead creeks. They would not respond very well to decoys or calling so strategic placement along flight patterns was needed. This means the locals are weary and it’s too hot for the migrating geese I think. So get out there, find a good place and happy hunting!!

Early goose season and where’s the geese? Maybe to hot for the buggers yet. Would like to hear some new VT reports. Is there no one else out there hunting. Put your swimming trunks away and get out there! Just kidding,but I’ll be out there and hopefully will have some good news for you all soon. Good luck to all this season and keep your eyes to the sky!!

If you are unhappy about the new wma rules, e-mail your elected officials. The link to your state sen. and reps is:http://www.tennesseeanytime.org/main/government/legislative.html
Who will monitior the validity of the computer draw? the TWRA? Every sportsman license will apply, why not? At least put and additional fee on it to try to keep the number of applications reasonable. A fee would hopefully keep the applicants to duck hunters only. Our current chances of getting drawn have been reduced drastically.
I thought they wanted to stop the blind buying? This hasn’t changed that at all. Let your sen. and reps know that if we need tax reform, cut the TWRA’s budget since they are inept..

We hunted late Oct. and came up with only a handfull of dukcs. The mallards seemed to be smaller than usual. Not a lot of blacks, but quite a few pintails. This warm weather put a hurt’n on the Atlantic Flyway. The ducks that did come down were hiding in the back swamps.It wasn’t cold enough to freeze the swamps and bring them to the lakeshores.It’s Dec. and i’m now starting to see quite a few birds. Let’s hope for better duck hunting weather next year !!!!!

Well folks the season came to a close here in the Interior Zone of Vermont with no ice. The mild temperarures have kept the migration to a trickle and with nothing frozen the ducks are scattered everywhere.
The Lk Champlain zone could see some action this week with the approaching cold front. Also, I hold a P.Q. license and I will hunt ducks north of the border.
Good luck………

Lamoille River, Sandbar area 11-25-2001 21:47
Cloudy, High Winds – 60-65 Degrees
Well it was another day of nice warm weather…yuck…need some cold weather to make these Ducks move. There were several larger flocks in the area. But they were staying in flocks and weren’t moving all that well. The Mallards and Blacks were landing about 20 yards of the newly formed sand delta just out side the Lamoille River. Some hunters have found the river a little tough to get through with out beaching it.
Keep the Ducks flying

Well, this is a little late, but Hunting on the Lamoille River, can be a little on the fun side. Both the mouths of the River left and right are a bit on the shallow side so caution should be taken.
As far as the ducks, we watched a group of Bluebills playing around, lifting up and setting down. But they were not moving at all. The weather obviously is not good for good hunting too nice. There are also several groups of Blacks and Mallards in the area these birds are from the North we were there when they came in.
There are alot of Blacks mixed in with the Mallards so be careful when groups of ducks come into your dekes. I have only seen a couple groups of Whistlers, I am checking with a few other hunters to see if they have anything to report. Happy hunting.
Steve
