Here and there around SW to SCentral LA… 09-10-2007 09:09
Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees
Went to a few different places this past weekend. Ventured South of Crowley and found about 70-100 Mottled ducks and about 50 Blue wings holed up in a little pond right next to the one we will be hunting….We will probably get a little action there this weekend if we decide to go.
Went and Scouted Sabine Refuge. It is completely different than before Rita. New Marsh everywhere. Didn’t see hardly any ducks though….Probably won’t be hunting there this next weekend.

Will be hitting the dove fields this weekend. Hopefully we will have some doves. Teal season is around the corner, but might need water in our teal pond. Will be hunting with my new lab this season. He seems to be a good one. Will come in handy on cripples. Might watch shell prices, I have heard rumors of price increases coming, so might want to stock up early.

Gettin ready for teal season, less than a month and counting. The numbers are up and there is plenlty of water all over the state. The say, the numbers on bluewing are up 14% over last year and we had plenty last year so we should be good. Now all we are doing is making sure the boats,pirogues,Ginger(our four legged partner), guns and gear are as ready as we are. Good luck hope yall have the time to get yall stuff done.

Finished the season with limits of green wings! That light rain had the teal moving and with a couple of spinners in the pond, didn’t take long! Seems that the spinners really attracts large flights of teal. Well it’s over for another year. An up and down season, with a lull in the middle for us. The rains hurt our goose hunting but the teal made up for it. Hopefully will have my dog for next season. Will keep an eye on our field to see if the geese might not starting feeding in it, and will make a hunt for them but with the high water, probably won’t occur.

Hunted Toledo bend Today and did pretty good on a diver hunt. Limits on Bluebills. Saw lots of big ducks but were set up for the divers. May be to little too late but the ducks are here. Seen several thousand ducks. Toledo is known for its canvasback pop. but of all the ducks I seen today very few were cans. Havent seen this many big ducks in a long time. Headed back for some greenheads tomorrow. Hate that its the last day of season.
Good luck to all.

Hunted over the long weekend and celebrated MLK day by having some good hunts.
Limited out in an hour Sat morning with 2 guns. Killed 10 gray ducks and 2 dos gris. Did the same thing Sunday morning in 1.5 hours. Others that hunted with us killed a few ducks but they need to go to the skeet range….bad! Hunted MLK day but it was bad foggy. Killed one teal and 3 dos gris.
The big front that is moving thru the MS Flyway now has already brought new and many ducks to the area. The closer this weekend should be GREAT for those that have water. The forcast is for a north wind and the tide is scheduled to be at the lowest of the year Saturday morning so ponds that normally have a small amount of water will be mud flats this weekend. This coming weekend is the reason we use airboats in this neck of the woods.

2 man limit of Jacks south out of Clark’s this morning. Plenty of divers, including Cans, to go around. Had to go slumming to get first limit of the season but it sure was nice to get some shots!
BTW, anyone with decoys on the upper end of Black Bayou Hosston, they are now gone!!! Water has come up 4 or 5 feet in the last 2 days. We will be searching the trees. Good thing mine are labeled.
Warning:Do not get on the river before light. There is a very real hazzard with all the floating timber.
Be Safe!!

Hunted Blue lake area this morning with very poor results. Saw several bunches of mallards,greys and spoonies,and the usual canvasbacks but coulnt get them to work. Had the perfect spot just couldnt get any responce. Dont really think they were new ducks.Ended the hunt early with one mallard drake, my hunting partner had leaky waders and was alittle cold. Good luck to all.
