Posted By: Martin-Hall Field Editor Harrisburg, AR 12-27-2007 16:17 Mostly Cloudy, No Precipitation – 35-40 Degrees I think the ducks have migrated back up north with the snow line. We’re killing a few ducks but not many of them are mallards. Two of us hunted a rice field pit yesterday and ended up with five spoonies, three mallards and a hen redhead. Not too bad but no barn burner. We didn’t let much get past. This morning, three of us hunted the same pit and killed 6 green-wing teal, three spoonies and one blue snow goose. Still no barn burner but enough to keep us interested. This is the same kind of hunts you’d expect the first part of the season. I thought the spoonies and teal left a month ago. The weatherman is talking sure-fire rain for tomorrow with the temps staying about the same until New Years when… Continue reading

Posted By: Martin-Hall Field Editor Arkansas 11-19-2007 08:21 Mostly Cloudy, No Precipitation – 60-65 Degrees If you’re going to Arkansas, put it off for a while. It’s too hot to hunt and the ducks aren’t here yet. Killing a few teal and spoonies but no big ducks. Pray for snow up north. Later. Wind at your back and good friends in your blind.

Posted By: mstone Guest S.E. Montana 11-05-2007 21:08 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 50-60 Degrees Just got back from our annual trip out to Montana. Spent two weeks in paradise. While this was mostly a trout fishing trip, we spent two of the last three days there hunting ducks. They had warm conditions up there as well too. We hunted some river bottoms and came out with five ducks for two hunters each day. All mallards except for two widgeon. The locals told us they had some good hunts early and then it had slowed down.They are waiting for another push, which they probably got the day or two after we had to leave. We did see fair numbers of ducks. A good warm up for the upcoming season in this part of the country. Get ready. mstone Posted By: flyfish37129 Guest Middle Tennessee 11-05-2007 18:06 – – –… Continue reading

Posted By: Martin-Hall Field Editor Southern Middle Tennessee 09-08-2007 21:50 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees Another good day in the field. Started the morning with one of our landowners shooting doves in a picked corn field. I couldn’t have gotten any better, the resturant where we ate breakfast at 4:30 a.m. was actually right in the middle of the fields. After eggs, bacon, french toast, western omlets or whatever our choices, we walked out the front door and into the field to shoot. The doves weren’t just blasting us but there were enough that most of us… Continue reading

Posted By: DKA Web Member Reelfoot 08-06-2007 08:08 – – – Believe it or not, I actually got drawn at Reelfoot Sat. Ended up with 51, timber hole next to Black Bayou, actually the first blind coming to the lake from the refuge. Should be pretty good, going tohave to build a blind but we can walk in to it from the refuge parking area. Cool!

Posted By: Martin-Hall Field Editor Arkansas Snow Geese Anyone? 02-06-2007 14:46 Mostly Cloudy, No Precipitation – 30-34 Degrees – Ice Any of you Woods Reservoir guys interested in getting up a free Snow Goose hunt in Arkansas during the Spring Conservations Season? I’ve got the place. I don’t think you even have to have an Ark. license. All it would cost is groceries and gas. If there’s any interest, we might get a group hunt together.… Continue reading

Posted By: gleasonduck Web Member gleason 01-26-2007 11:51 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 40-45 Degrees Even the Northwest counties have some weak reports-our seasons have been sorry since 1999. Thank God for woodducks or we would have really stunk it up this year. We hunt the Middle fork of the Obion and several groups that hunt east of us are thinking seriously about calling it quits. We have 5 refuges within 12 miles of us and have killed a grand total of 10 mallards this season. We hunt 135 flooded acres with 25 acres of standing corn and all we see are wood ducks. We have put up 15 wood duck boxes just to try a raise some local birds to shoot, cause we sure don’t get migrators anymore.
