Posted By: DukGuy Web Member Norfork lake 01-05-2013 18:59 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 25-30 Degrees – Open Water Norfork and Bull shoals still dropping and very low water conditions. Ducks (mostly gaddies)have been using mudflats. Hunting from layouts out on the mudflats wallowing around in the mud. 4 of us killed a 17 duck mixed bag on Jan.3 of gwt and gaddies, a mallard and a spoonie. Went this morning Jan. 5 and the front must have moved most of the birds out. We killed only one gaddie and saw very few birds. Posted By: Rudy-Martin Field Editor Altheimer – Sherrill Area 01-02-2013 16:06 – – – All of our fields froze up last week. Our members have been hearing a lot of shooting right at daylight in Bayou Meto. Maybe it’s mostly wood ducks. The weather forecast is to be in the 20’s the next few days,… Continue reading

Posted By: Jay-Robison Field Editor 12-11-2012 12:47 – – – Thank you Rearny Posted By: REARNEY Web Member 12-11-2012 09:04 – – – Jay Robison-If this helps or maybe encourage you guys. Saturday and Sunday we received 14″ of snow in West Central Wisconsin that covered everything up. I hunt the Mississippi River around Lake Pepin area on the Wisconsin side and our hunting was excellent the entire season in which our group shot consistent limits all season. We did notice that Mallards are showing up later and staying longer. Now they should be moving south after this snow storm. Good luck and Merry Christmas Posted By: Jay-Robison Field Editor Bayou Metro 12-10-2012 14:29 – – – Good morning to the duck hunting world, as always they are a few doing really well, while the rest of us could use a little assistance. All the warm weather has just not… Continue reading

Posted By: Mark-Mullins Field Editor NEArk 11-06-2012 13:41 – – 45-50 Degrees Need rain,some ducks around where there is water, alot of Gadwall moved through a week ago, i think most moved on south. Looks like a few mallards showed last weekend. Black River, Ashbaugh and WMA is extremly low. North Island had water, looked like there might have been a little water in slough on south island. A little water in canal behind ashbaugh, not enough to float a boat. Still no wells running at Ashbaugh or DU ground. A few more fields are starting to get pumped up. Posted By: Jay-Robison Field Editor 10-29-2012 09:30 – – – Gadwalls and specks are in Southeast, I agree with Mark there is little water to hold any waterfowl at this time. Weather reports show little rain in our forecast, for this week. Posted By: Mark-Mullins Field Editor ne ark 10-28-2012… Continue reading

Posted By: Jay-Robison Field Editor Area around Bayou Meto 11-26-2012 14:29 Sunny & Clear, High Winds – 40-45 Degrees I guess like everyone else opening was fair, went south quickly and then very slow for the rest of the opening season. Posted By: Rudy-Martin Field Editor Altheimer/Sherrill Area 11-26-2012 12:59 – – – Our club had a good opening weekend, but we fell off significantly after that. This weekend there were practically no ducks killed. So far we have water in only 2 of our 7 fields. We’ll be ready for the 2nd season. Shoot ’em in the face! Posted By: Brian-Moore Field Editor NEA 11-20-2012 14:10 – – 50-60 Degrees Good opener for us. Lots of birds worked and worked well. If you have water you will have ducks. Pretty simple right now. Very dry and will need rain before the full migration arrives to hold them here. Good… Continue reading

Posted By: Jay-Robison Field Editor 10-22-2012 10:17 – – Over 70 Degrees Just some early information. Migration Update – October 17, 2012 Another weekend approaches and “Opening Day” slides further south along with the migration. Canada goose numbers continue to build in the upper Mississippi Flyway and Pintail numbers are building from the Klamath Basin to the Sacramento Valley. Increased rainfall has supplied much needed moisture to areas to parts of the eastern Central Flyway and The Great Lakes, though much more is needed to recharge the bulk of shallow wetlands. Hello folks, and, as always, welcome to Waterfowler.com. It’s mid-October and folks around the office are still wearing shorts here in northern Illinois. Opening Day is less than seventy-two hours away and the marsh where we normally hold the annual WFC Opening Day hunt is a choked with dried canary grass on bed of cracked, dry soil. Despite the… Continue reading

Posted By: Rudy-Martin Field Editor Altheimer/Sherrill Area 01-24-2012 16:38 – – – Things were better for us last week. All parties killed at least some ducks, and some killed limits. I’m still hearing that there are “tons” of ducks in Missouri. Maybe they will get down here after the season and imprint on the area. Some of us are taking kids on the youth hunt. Shoot ’em in the face! Posted By: Mark-Mullins Field Editor NE Ark 01-24-2012 07:54 – – – Friday- field around grubbs- 4 hunters 16 birds, mixed bag.

Posted By: kenbowen22 Web Member Wabbaseka 01-15-2012 14:43 Sunny & Clear, High Winds – 40-45 Degrees Saturday – 6 hunters – 27 ducks 1 snow Sunday – 2 hunters – 12 ducks Mostly spoonies, gadwall & teal with the occasional mallard. Sunday was much slower than Saturday but we still finished up before 11:00. Duck Hunting Attitude: It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 muscles to smile…. but it takes only 3 muscles for proper trigger squeeze! Posted By: davehunter03 Web Member 01-12-2012 11:10 – – – WB: If it were not for the Pintails & Teal, our season would have been a ‘bust’. I too have hunted many seasons and this is the most I’ve seen. Sr. Posted By: wbduckman Web Member St Francis Co. 01-11-2012 19:01 Cloudy, Winds Calm – 40-45 Degrees Well, it’s a good news/bad news type of thing. Good news is, I have never… Continue reading
