Posted By: Bert Holtzman Field Editor Ohio River Zone 09-24-2011 17:58 – – – RAIN!!! We’ve had around two inches so far with at least another inch tomorrow night. Farmers are just getting started with the harvest. I will check water levels once they get the corn and beans picked. This rain will help but it won’t be enough. With the biggest fall flight ever recorded, here’s hoping there will be an influx of water by the time the two-day season kicks in. Posted By: Bert Holtzman Field Editor Ohio River 09-08-2011 05:56 Mostly Sunny, No Precipitation – 50-60 Degrees We had a Labor Day teal hunt for our first outing of the season. The slough we hunted had some water, but was really down for the most part. We saw about 80 wood ducks, no teal. There were some people who did see strong numbers on the river this… Continue reading

Posted By: Bert Holtzman Field Editor Ohio River Zone 01-11-2011 17:35 – – – Sunday hunt: We set up in a creek off of the river but got froze out. We did see a good group of ducks on the river on the way home. They didn’t stay long. Talked to some boys at the ramp today and they said the past two days haven’t been very good. The past two days I haven’t seen all that much scouting but I’m giving it a go in the morning for a quick hunt on some birds I have been seeing.

Posted By: Bert Holtzman Field Editor Ohio River Zone 12-21-2010 13:23 Mostly Cloudy, No Precipitation – 30-34 Degrees – Open Water Had a fun little hunt this morning with Tony. We set up in a creek off of the river. We put out 20 duck decoys and some jumbo goose shells around our layout blinds and waited. Sure enough ducks started moving early again. We saw several groups. One gadwall drake liked what he saw and dove in out of no where. We took him in short order. We also ended up with a goose. That was it. Not much but we had fun. I was suprised that we saw what we did, as I hadn’t seen all that much scouting the past few days. We saw one big group of mallards and another group of fifty ducks, all gadwall! It’s been a gadwall year around the zone. I’ve seen… Continue reading

The birds didn’t fly like they did yesterday. We managed to get a goose and that was all she wrote. I’ll be back at it again Sunday. We have our basketball tournament all day Saturday. The boys will hunt. I’ll post how they do. Posted By: Corey-Cordray Guest SW/NF 11-28-2010 08:09 Sunny & Clear, High Winds – 35-40 Degrees I knew that a good day was there for the taking if only the sun would pop out from behind the clouds. It did. However, our shooting didn’t exactly show up. Managed to scratch out four mallards, two black ducks and a gadwall and lost another black duck and another gadwall. Ducks worked great after the sun came out with most shots inside 30… Continue reading
