Posted By: Norm-Saake Web Member Jessup Flat 10-10-2006 23:33 – – – The Jessup Flat area is still at flood stage and water levels are still a little deeper than the should be to attract large numbers of ducks. The count on this area last month were lower than expected, considering the large water area and good food productions this summer. High water levels are dropping fairly fast because of the uncontrolled outflow to the Carson Sink and reduced flows coming from the Humboldt WMA. There is less hunting cover this year than in the past and access is still very difficult because of the high water levels. If you hunt this area, you need to be careful because of the high percentage of redheads using the area. The following is the September count figures for Jessup: The next flight is scheduled for Oct. 19th. Mallard 360 Gadwall 440 Pintail… Continue reading

Posted By: nvchukar Supporting Member 07-20-2006 09:30 – – – I would add to Jack on the Rocks that the local hatch in Nevada is tremendous. Duck band recovery studies show that a high percentage of our ducks here do NOT breed in Canada, but rather in the intermountain west. With plentiful water and favorable nesting habitat at Franklin Lake/Ruby Marshes, nearly the entire Humboldt River, Humboldt Sink/Jessup, and others, the local hatch should provide great early season hunting opportunities. I traveled much of the Little Humboldt River two weeks ago north of Winnemucca while scouting for antelope, and observed an average of one brood every 25 yards of waterway. Absolutely increadible density! Conservatively, saw over 500 ducklings.

Posted By: hunterox Guest None 12-18-2005 22:16 Cloudy, Light Rain & Drizzle – 35-40 Degrees NV Chuckar, I had that problem at Greenhead a couple of weeks ago. Lots of teal in flocks of 3-15 and very few drakes. I really try not to shoot hens, but sometimes it happens. Spoonies are fair game… Glad you were able to get out. How were the roads today? Posted By: nvchukar Supporting Member Humboldt Sink 12-18-2005 10:00 Cloudy, Winds Calm – 30-34 Degrees – Ice Tried area where saw widgeon working on 12/11. Never saw a duck until 11:45, but then fairly decent flight thereafter. Ducks sitting on the ice and in pockets they’ve kept open, but most never moved the entire day. Shot six (4 widgeon, 1 sprig, and 1 greenhead). Plenty of dark geese moving around, trying to find something to eat, but none ventured near me. Swans are really… Continue reading

Posted By: Rolly99 Guest Greenhead 11-29-2005 12:37 Cloudy, Occassional Rain Showers – 45-50 Degrees Hunted Greenhead on Friday. Two of us got 6 Gadwall. Hunted til about Noon and got out when it started lightning. Hunted the north side. Not too many people out there and the hunting was decent, so it was a good day. Rolly Posted By: hunterox Guest Private Club Churchill/Greenhead 11-29-2005 00:16 Cloudy, High Winds – 40-45 Degrees Hunted some private ground on Friday, 11/25. We kicked about 50 mallards out and none came back. Saturday 11/26, we went to Greenhead to the sprig pond. There were a few birds and we managed 4, 2 widgeon, 1 sprig, and 1 buff. For the perfect ducky conditions, a strong north wind, there really weren’t very many birds. Is anyone else hunting? If you are, why aren’t you posting? Feetdown!

Have hunted most mid-west states Miss, LA Ark, for years. Three times to So America. Goose hunt Oregon allmost every week end Mid Nov thru season close, and am 60 yrs old. I have hunted a bunch. Worst trip ever, if you throw out two tours in Nam. Lucky all came home alive. Lucky the Wardens gave our guns back. If you want all the details you just need to ask. Been home 5 days and still so mad it would take a novel to tell you about this clown. It would make a great article for Waterfowler on who not to go with, and what not to do. It… Continue reading
