Big disappointment Friday in spite of the weather. Not much of a storm.
Saturday was fair for most hunters. I finally started hunting Sunday and got the edge off w/ a spec, greenie, 2 bulls. No duck flight to speak of but the snows and specs flew all morning at their “just out of reach” safety altitude. The duck kill was pretty thin. Appears most refuges are loaded…one in particular just north of the Sink has more birds than anyone can remember, especially mallards. Mild temps are in the forecast w/ lite winds and then there might be a change starting Friday. We’ll see!

I have been seeing a lot of White Winged and Surf Scoters off Alameda to Bay Farm but have not seen any duck hunters. Where (how far south)do you have to go before you can legally hunt them. I know that one can’t discharge a firearm in city limits which is split right down the bay but have heard of people hunting in South Bay. Have hunted seas ducks for years in maine and would really like to get out for the scoters next season. Any info would be much appreciated!

Hunted east of Sac on Friday and we killed 22 birds by noon. Pretty slow until about 9:30 then all hell broke lose. The wind never really picked up above 10mph.
Birds worked in very well. I was surprised to hear all the poor reports on Friday. There are a ton of birds in Sac refuge. We watched 5,000 ducks come in 30 minutes after shoot time. It was pretty jaw dropping. They fed hard Thursday and Friday night.

WENT OUT YESTERDAY IN SPITE OF HOW SLOW IT’S BEEN. THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE FOGGY AFTER THE RAIN AND IT WAS. THERE WERE A POT FULL OF BOTH DUCKS AND GEESE ON THE PROPERTY AND AS USUAL THEY LEFT THO THEY WAITED TIL THE FIRST EARLY BIRDS NORTH SHOT. IT WAS A 10 MINUTE SHOOT AND THEN DEAD AS THE FOG LIFTED. THE WIND DIDN’T BLOW HARD ENOUGH TO GET THE GEESE DOWN AND THERE WAS NO DUCK FLITE AT ALL. LEFT WITH TWO SPRIG AND TWO SPECS. VERY PLEASED!

WENT OUT EXPECTING A GOOD SHOOT AND SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER. SHOT AT A HIGH FLOCK OF SNOWS EARLY ON AND WE GOT TWO OF THEM, THEN A LONELY SPOON AND THAT WAS IT. SAW 6 DUCKS THE ENTIRE MORNING OTHER THAN 1 LARGE FLOCK FLYING SOUTH VERY HIGH. LOT OF HUNTERS OUT THO EVERYWHERE BUT THE PICKERS DIDN’T SHOW MUCH EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS!
