Posted By: Mike-Gorsett Field Editor 11-24-2010 13:00 – – – endless V’s of canadian’s all day yesterday. Most potholes are froze over and birds are now using the small creeks and rivers in the area. There are birds to be taken if you can locate the fields they are using. Posted By: Budheavy13 Web Member Around Vermillion 11-18-2010 15:19 Cloudy, Winds Calm – 35-40 Degrees Last night saw thousands of mallards and other puddlers in the area. Not many are decoying well but still managed to shoot a few. Smaller puddles should be freezing up soon, Most around here are frozen in the morning. Hopefully this will concentrate the ducks.

Posted By: Mike-Gorsett Field Editor 09-17-2010 15:22 – – – Went to four marshes that usually hold a good number of birds amd pnly saw a few groups of teal on each lake. Alot of water up this way and the birds are really spread out! It may be tough the first couple of weeks until the water level starts to lower. Geese are really starting to group up, quite a few flocks around should be good hunting this weekend! Going to Iowa for the duck opener there will report after the weekend. Posted By: Mike-Gorsett Field Editor 08-19-2010 12:11 – – – MIxed bag of results reported on the resident canada goose season.

We did very well with a mix bag of Mallards, Teal, Wigeon,Redheads, Gaddies, Etc. You still need to do your scouting. The birds aren’t everywhere but if you do your work, limits are the norm. Poor Pheasant hunting, near 100% of the crops are still in the fields. Many places were under water.

Posted By: MarshMan1 Guest SE South Dakota 10-10-2009 16:57 Sunny & Clear, High Winds – 25-30 Degrees – Open Water Hunted this morning not know what to expect. It snowed, no it was a blizzard at the Friday night high school football game. 24 degrees this morning and 30mph winds. Saw a few flocks of specklebellies, saw 2 snow geese and got both, only snows we saw and cranes. Not as many mallards as the past weeks but lots of wigeons, gadwalls and gw teal. With the geese we saw I would think there would be a few new ducks coming down. Lows tonight in the teens to low 20’s highs sunday upper 30’s. End of the week calling for highs in the 50’s low in the 30’s. Migration starting???
