Posted By: Bumper Guest Western Ks 11-27-2006 14:44 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 50-60 Degrees We had a small turkey day hunt. One drake, one bull pintail, one baldpate and two teal. Most of the ducks flew before we could id them. Saw a lot of birds. On Friday, we went hunting for ditch chickens and 8 of us got 31 roosters. Saturday was another duck hunt. Six of managed thirteen ducks. Mostly mallards and widgeons. Again they flew early and were not easy to identify. We need some new birds as these were pretty wary even though we had not hunted the pond in more than a week. Sunday, we set up for some geese on a wheat field and naturally they went to a corn field just north of us. Mostly snows and small canadas which are extremely unpredictable. Most of the time it was pretty good… Continue reading

Posted By: mdavis3 Guest flint hills 11-18-2006 17:25 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 40-45 Degrees Had a good hunt this morning! We ended the day at 10:15 with a limit of geese and mallards (2 man limit). Best part was a banded bird my partner let me claim it. Posted By: Water SWAT Guest Harvey County 11-18-2006 16:10 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 35-40 Degrees We didn’t see the birds in any numbers this morning. We killed 2 Red Hed Drakes right out of the gate. Next came the Honkers. Had a group of about 20-25 that wanted into the decoys. 5 stayed with us. Had two orver 11 lbs. All were good sized geese. Next we had 4 mallards work us. Only one wanted in and we let him, well for a minute, he was greeted by steel. I had to leave at 0800. We had some… Continue reading

Posted By: wtrfwlhunter Guest 11-13-2006 16:18 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 35-40 Degrees Tough tough day, did not see many birds today. We managed to scratch a 2 man limit. 3 mallards, 3 teal, 4 gads. Not bad overall considering we did not have a duck in the decoys at early light. Posted By: Col4600 Guest Flooded millet pond-N. of Cheney Res. 11-12-2006 20:51 Cloudy, High Winds – 35-40 Degrees Hunted a flooded millet pond this morning. Very very windy day, figured the ducks would stay off the lake and head for a little cover and food. Me and my son were running a little late and when we arrived lots of teal were already on the water. Once we were set up we had a few nice groups work us. Ended the day with 1 redhead, 1 oddball and 6 Gw teal. They stopped flying early, and most… Continue reading

Posted By: Col4600 Guest Central Kansas 11-06-2006 23:03 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 45-50 Degrees Went back to the same place as on Saturday. Didn’t see near the numbers as the day before, it was more like early November usually is on the Arkansas River. We did have 2 nice groups work us and managed to shoot 8 mallards. Most of the other birds we saw were flying very high and didn’t pay us much attention. It was just a very different day all around. I think some of this had to do with the moon, it was very heavy on Saturday night and Sunday morning. I didn’t notice it on my Saturday hunt because of the cloud cover. My guess is the Mallards were up in the fields half the night and weren’t following any set pattern. Every bird we shot was stuffed full of corn. Anyway, I… Continue reading

Moved everything that we could think of, boat, blind, changed decoys, blah blah blah….still flared at about 60 yds, just before they became into the hot spot. Saw fair aomount of birds. Posted By: kerhonk Guest 10-26-2006 22:19 – – – Was out for about an hour tonight working the dog and saw a group of about 25 ducks and a group of about 50 geese. These birds were high flying and moving fast. Even more exciting is the downpour we are getting right now N. of Hutchinson! Maybe it will fill up some of the ponds around… Continue reading
