John, due to the lack of moisture the pot holes in Nebraska and Iowa don’t exist. My guess once they moved and got the areas like nod valley bb and sc they stopped. Sure wish Nebraska would do it like Missouri on public hunting.

Hunted bob brown and had a four man limit by 7:45. There number count is correct. 50,000 birds mostly mallards. There was a party by me that shot every 2-5 minutes for over an hour. Must of either had a beginer hunter with them or was shooting TALL birds! I would think they would of had there limit.

Just a report from my two sons who have renewed our old lease near Mound City.The boys hunted Friday and Saturday.Birds,mostly mallards were moving at shooting time till around 11AM.Both sons limited out on greenheads.Saturday,one son hunted back in the flooded corn and other hunted in near by field that had been ripped,he used his layout blind.Both sons hunted in the late afternoon,both had groups of 25-50 mallards at a time,both limited out on Saturday. The boys said that it appears there was a migration over last weekend,also reported numerous large flocks of snows coming out of Squaw Creek and heading north and then coming back to refuge later in the day.Our club has shot almost 100 birds so far,mostly good numbers last week,strange for weather has not been bad in the north to move the birds south.

My visit to hunt my lease began on Monday afternoon.They had shot some 13 birds in the morning.Nothing in afternoon. Wednesday very poor few birds.Had bad tuesday night which I will not get into.This cause was bad due to other members in the group.I now will stay with people I know. Wednesday afternoon,most of members were sleeping it off in the afternoon.I had blind to myself,made the discovery that I had left my calls in my other hunting jacket at home. Being frustrated at the events of the two days,I fed the dog around 3:30PM,packed up my gear and headed back to Columbia,never woke anyone sleeping.I will not be posting for a while till I make a decision for rest of the season.My problem,and I will deal with it.

Hunted Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Tuesday was a bust. Saw some high fliers about 9:30 and had one bunch of ring necks buzz the decoys. Changed locations for Wednesday and saw lots more birds. Ended getting a couple of woodducks, gadwals and ringnecks. No mallards worked the decoys. ben

Hunted Wednesday and Thursday.Wednesday was a dud. Thursday morning was much better,had some 20 gadwells dropped into decoys about 10 minutes before shooting time.They left before shooting time,short stopover.From shooting time till around 8:30, had all kinds of action,mostly gadwell,although one bryant was shot.Three of us ended up with six birds,many missed shots.Last retreive for Holly made my day,had a gadwell down some 100 yards from blind in brush.Waited till things calmed down,took her down to general area. She swam across a short canal,nose hit the water as she got to the marsh grass on other side of canal and in a few minutes,picked up the scent and found the bird,which was dead.Great work with her nose.It made my day along with the other retrieves she made around the blind.Be back at them again this weekend.Cold front coming on Monday,should stir up up some new birds.One member shot four birds on tuesday morning,left in the afternoon.

It has been some 3 yrs. since I hunted Bob Brown. The flood in 2010 pretty much knocked it out. Hunted it several times,always had good success.It is a wade and shoot area,but most of area has canals that you would need a boat.A layout boat was always my choice of a boat,dry seat in the corn fields,the canals will take you to the corn fields,after leaving the canals and you pull into the area you want to hunt,you can wade that area,I assume things are back to normal by now. They do have a limited number of hunters compared to Grand Pass.If you can’t get in. ,Nodaway Valley CA is near buy,it has a wade and shoot area.Good luck.

I am headed to Bob Brown next weekend. Do I need a boat to hunt there? Is this a good place to hunt?

Looks like your computer might have had a slight malfunction??? Looks like your latest post was duplicated multiple times over and over.

At any rate thanks for sharing your update.

We had a really good opener in NW Missouri. We had 5 of us and limited by about 9am at our farm. Mix of gadwalls, wood ducks, pintail (1), canvasback (1) and teal.

Sunday was the usual slow down we expect. Great weekend to get things started.

Hunted the lease on Wednesday and Thursday. Slow but days.Both days little wind and temps in the 60’s.On Wednesday did manage to take two drakes.Birds worked the spread both days,but no wind and decoys dead in the water.On Thursday hunted till noon and then headed back to Columbia. Saw more on Thursday morning till around 9’clock and then went dead.See where Squaw Creek picked up some 20,000 mallards plus since last week,total on refuge over 60,000 birds,up from around 29,000 last week.Stay safe.Will give then another try next week.PS,on thursday total of one green wing.

Hunted the lease on Wednesday and thursday.Weather was a problem.Very little wind and temps in the 60″s,even had honey bees in the blind by afternoon.On Wednesday first hour and half numerous birds,teal,wooddies,galdwells and some mallards,none wanted to work,no wind was the big problem.Did manage to take two drakes early morning.Afternoon both days very very slow.On Thursday,saw more ducks at shooting time than we saw on Wednesday,same type.Same results,galdwells,teal and some 10 mallards worked us with several passes,but with no wind,every thing looked dead in the water.One greenwing got to close,that was our take for the morning.Temps back into the 60’s,left at noon to head back to Columbia. Hope next week brings more weather. There seems to numerous ducks in the area,but with this kind of weather,they are all sitting in the small bodies of water in the area.Holly made some nice retrieves both days,was concerned about her for she is ten and Wednesday night was in bed early,come thursday morning,she slept in,till we had breakfast and got our gear together,she was out of bed and at the door with tail waggleing.Did nice retrieve on the teal shot which dropped some 30 yards from the blind in some marsh grass.Stay safe.

Hunted the lease on Wednesday and thursday.Weather was a problem.Very little wind and temps in the 60″s,even had honey bees in the blind by afternoon.On Wednesday first hour and half numerous birds,teal,wooddies,galdwells and some mallards,none wanted to work,no wind was the big problem.Did manage to take two drakes early morning.Afternoon both days very very slow.On Thursday,saw more ducks at shooting time than we saw on Wednesday,same type.Same results,galdwells,teal and some 10 mallards worked us with several passes,but with no wind,every thing looked dead in the water.One greenwing got to close,that was our take for the morning.Temps back into the 60’s,left at noon to head back to Columbia. Hope next week brings more weather. There seems to numerous ducks in the area,but with this kind of weather,they are all sitting in the small bodies of water in the area.Holly made some nice retrieves both days,was concerned about her for she is ten and Wednesday night was in bed early,come thursday morning,she slept in,till we had breakfast and got our gear together,she was out of bed and at the door with tail waggleing.Did nice retrieve on the teal shot which dropped some 30 yards from the blind in some marsh grass.Stay safe.

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 50-60 Degrees
Hunted the lease on Wednesday and thursday.Weather was a problem.Very little wind and temps in the 60″s,even had honey bees in the blind by afternoon.On Wednesday first hour and half numerous birds,teal,wooddies,galdwells and some mallards,none wanted to work,no wind was the big problem.Did manage to take two drakes early morning.Afternoon both days very very slow.On Thursday,saw more ducks at shooting time than we saw on Wednesday,same type.Same results,galdwells,teal and some 10 mallards worked us with several passes,but with no wind,every thing looked dead in the water.One greenwing got to close,that was our take for the morning.Temps back into the 60’s,left at noon to head back to Columbia. Hope next week brings more weather. There seems to numerous ducks in the area,but with this kind of weather,they are all sitting in the small bodies of water in the area.Holly made some nice retrieves both days,was concerned about her for she is ten and Wednesday night was in bed early,come thursday morning,she slept in,till we had breakfast and got our gear together,she was out of bed and at the door with tail waggleing.Did nice retrieve on the teal shot which dropped some 30 yards from the blind in some marsh grass.Stay safe.

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 50-60 Degrees
Hunted the lease on Wednesday and thursday.Weather was a problem.Very little wind and temps in the 60″s,even had honey bees in the blind by afternoon.On Wednesday first hour and half numerous birds,teal,wooddies,galdwells and some mallards,none wanted to work,no wind was the big problem.Did manage to take two drakes early morning.Afternoon both days very very slow.On Thursday,saw more ducks at shooting time than we saw on Wednesday,same type.Same results,galdwells,teal and some 10 mallards worked us with several passes,but with no wind,every thing looked dead in the water.One greenwing got to close,that was our take for the morning.Temps back into the 60’s,left at noon to head back to Columbia. Hope next week brings more weather. There seems to numerous ducks in the area,but with this kind of weather,they are all sitting in the small bodies of water in the area.Holly made some nice retrieves both days,was concerned about her for she is ten and Wednesday night was in bed early,come thursday morning,she slept in,till we had breakfast and got our gear together,she was out of bed and at the door with tail waggleing.Did nice retrieve on the teal shot which dropped some 30 yards from the blind in some marsh grass.Stay safe.
