Managed to kill seven honkers and have three of them be banded. Birds didn’t really like us until about 10:30 or so. I think we’ll try it again on Saturday.

Posted By: Bert Holtzman Field Editor Around Indy 02-06-2010 17:40 Arctic Blast – 25-30 Degrees – Open Water We set up for geese this morning expecting big things. The wind whipped in every possible way. We had blowing snow that tortured us along with it. We ended up with four geese. Our set up was terrible and we moved around several times. I’m not sure how much it would have mattered though. They simply, for the most part, were in loafing mode. We had a good time though. I’ve enjoyed the time spent here this season. Hopefully you enjoyed my posts. More to come next season. It’s off season time now.

Season Totals 120 ducks 57 geese Birds in the Ohio River Zone around here are becoming more numerous. However, most of the activity is occuring in the afternoon on the river in general. Ducks have been sitting in the mornings and feeding in the afternoon. I witnessed a massive mallard stage yesterday afternoon on the river. They sat down for a while then poured into as KY cornfield. Posted By: Bert Holtzman Field Editor Ohio River 01-07-2010 11:18 Cloudy, Accumulating Snow – 25-30 Degrees – Ice I scouted Monday and saw about a thousand birds in a time period of 30 minutes and was feeling pretty confident about getting out on the river this morning.

I did see quite a few birds flying the river this morning. Maybe things will pick up soon. Who knows. Posted By: Bert Holtzman Field Editor Ohio River Zone 12-24-2009 13:47 – – – Hunted the timber slough this morning. We got set up and heard mallards on their roost soon after. They left at day break. Two hoodies landed and swam in. The boys shot. We got one. We worked a few small groups of mallards and three black ducks almost finished. We’ll be back at it in another area Saturday and Sunday. We’re headed north on Monday for hopefully better days. It’s been a rough season so far. I hit the water this morning for the first time this… Continue reading

Posted By: Corey-Cordray Guest South Zone 12-15-2009 16:38 Cloudy, High Winds – 30-34 Degrees – Open Water Had a nice goose hunt this morning in a disced cornfield. Three of us killed six honkers and I killed one with a band on it from Nunavut, Canada. Looks like we have picked up a few migrating geese in the last few days. NW winds should continue to bring a few birds down. Posted By: Aaron-Vogler Web Member SW Indiana 12-14-2009 20:44 – – – Drove around Friday for a few hours and found relief in seeing what appeared to be new birds around plus a few pits holding quite a few geese. Drove around for two hours today, absolutely nothing and I mean nothing. Yea I know where some birds are and always are, but those places just dont count sometimes.

Posted By: Bert Holtzman Field Editor Around Indy 12-11-2009 12:38 Sunny & Clear, High Winds – 10-20 Degrees – Open Water Had an exceptional hunt this morning. They really poored in at shooting time and we had ten on the water before we knew it! After that pairs came in consistently. We even had three gadwall come in low and got every one of them. We took a four gun limit of mallards and added those gadwall. I’ll post pics when I get home Sunday. We hope to keep shooting this weekend.

Have killed only a few so far this season. If they are here, what zone are they concentrated in. Good Luck. Posted By: TRM Web Member 12-10-2009 16:56… Continue reading
