Posted By: Greg-Haygood Web Member Quivera 10-19-2007 11:02 – – – Tomorrow is the big day for our low plains late season Youth opener!! I will have 4 dads and 6 kids (2 of which will be sporting BB guns only)in the blinds tomorrow morning. I hope everyone will try and expose a young one to this great sport as they are the future life blood of waterfowling. On to what I know…….scouted some late this week after the big rains and found ton’s of water holes everywhere I looked. Surely this will spread the local ducks like crazy after tomorrows 1st pounding. Expect area that are holding ducks today to have good action in the morning, but Sunday will be a challenge and require some Saturday afternoon scouting. Quivera had numerous outlying pockets of ducks, but nothing in real numbers. Surrounding areas were very hit and miss, some had… Continue reading

Naked Doc (thanks Reno504) Posted By: Bernie-Jones Field Editor north sedg co. 02-08-2007 20:02 – – – Been busy trying to get the last few weeks of goose in. Man has it been wild. Shot limits almost every time out with a few snows here and there. Still tons of geese in the fields north of of Wichita. Good luck too all.

Usually don’t hunt the river in the afternoons but noticed the ducks were using it so decided to give it… Continue reading

Posted By: Bernie-Jones Field Editor Sedg. county 01-03-2007 18:17 – – – We did alot of hunting over the past week with little or no results on duckies. We didn’t see many and didnt shoot any. They seem a little sparse in the northern part of the county. Geese on the other hand. WOW!!! Tons and tons of geese. Wee hunted a field that was packed the morning before and sat up a few dozen silos. There was about 15 in the first bunch that came in and we dropped 3 out of them. The second group was the shocker. We let the first 100 or so land right in the dekes and the other 1000-2000 were right behind them. NO KIDDIN!!! we dropped all of our limits out of this bunch. Gonna try and get in on the speks before the end this weekend. Good luck!! Posted By: jroetman… Continue reading

Posted By: Greg-Haygood Web Member South of Quivera 12-26-2006 18:18 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 25-30 Degrees – Ice Christmas Eve morning brought a decent hunt, nothing spectacular as we had 2 weeks ago. My oldest and I ended up with 6 greenheads and 1 gw teal. Not nearly the number of birds in the area, but enough to make it interesting. Still very decoy and call shy. This morning a little better as far as decoying, we were able to get a few more to hit the spread instead of moving up and away. Hunted til 11:30 and ended with 5 greenheads, 2 hens (sorry, it was slow) and 3 widgeon. Need some more ducks bad, feels like we are hunting the same ducks over and over. Few more days until the 1st split is over then it’s wait and see what Jan 20-28 brings. Going home to… Continue reading

Posted By: Bumper Guest Kansas 12-18-2006 08:39 Mostly Sunny, No Precipitation – 30-34 Degrees – Open Water I had a good hunt on Saturday. Had five drakes before 8:00 am. Can’t tell you where as it is public. Lots of birds working and I wasn’t in the best of spots but good enough. Posted By: Col4600 Guest Top secret location somewhere in Central Kansas 12-17-2006 21:09 Cloudy, Winds Calm – 40-45 Degrees Hit the Arkansas River Saturday morning. 4 of us cleaned up. The ducks were on us heavy from 7 to 8am. Had enough come in after that to keep us interested, had our limits by 10 am. The ducks were working perfectly with minimal effort, just a unbelievable day. 19 Mallards, 1 wigeon. Wasn’t sure what to expect for Sunday, just knew we had to head back to the River and give it another shot. Picked up another… Continue reading

Posted By: Bumper Guest kansas 12-06-2006 08:30 – – – Probably moved to some moving water, a river Posted By: wtrfwlr44 Guest local reservoir 12-06-2006 07:32 – – 25-30 Degrees – Open Water 1st year hunting Kansas. With all the ponds iced over hit a reservoir on 4 Dec. With all the open water available there expected to see a lot of birds. Figured the geese would be roosting the open water and ducks would be present in good numbers. I was shocked at the lack of birds. Saw 15 Geese and maybe, just maybe 200 ducks. Sure wouldn’t even give me the time of day. In Virginia the birds moved to the big open water and were usually plentiful when the ice and snow hit. Figured to at least see some Bluebills or maybe some cans, or the hearty midwest mallards. Do the birds move on here due to… Continue reading

Posted By: Greg-Haygood Web Member 11-30-2006 14:22 – – – Couple of things, one I’ll update all my recent hunts later on, but news flash Quivera has reopened for hunting as of 12pm today!! We have between 3-5 inches in North Wichita already (2:20pm) and it’s really cold out there (ambient temp 15, windchill -3). Think the actual snow line is between Wichita and Huctch, very little precip to our west, but given all the reports from states north of us, the dance is on!! Hope you all can get out and enjoy this major migration event this weekend (if your not deer hunting that is). I’ll try to report after each hunt starting tomorrow.
