Posted By: seeker28 Guest South 11-29-2006 09:56 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 45-50 Degrees Hunted with the regular crew on Monday and Tuesday. Monday was average out on the pond. We took mostly divers with Blackjacks, Ruddy’s and a Redhead in the bag. A couple of Smileys and Gad. The divers are pretty much educated now to stay at least 80 yards away from most cover. Enough still made mistakes to have a fun hunt. Tuesday we changed locations and were hopefull for some wind and maybe new ducks out in front of the approaching storm. We got the wind but not much duck movement. However, the Greenwings couldn’t resist our set up and 10 died with the gear down. I have to appologize to DQ now as I played a dirty trick on him with a FT Blank. That Mallard probably has broken eardrums now. 😉 Call’em, Kill’em,… Continue reading

Posted By: seeker28 Guest 11-16-2006 14:57 – – – Was up that way myself this past week. On Saturday saw very few birds on the ranch potholes. Came back Monday as the front was blowing in and every pothole had birds in it. Quite a few birds seen up in CO. Looks like there are more waves to come. The early lull may be starting these next few days. Time to look at some new spots and visit some old honey holes. Posted By: Norman-Harris Guest Maxwell area 11-16-2006 09:27 – – – Hunted the Maxwell area for the first time ever,last friday afternoon and saturday morning. It was only OK for me. There were a moderate number of birds but they didn’t move around much. I never did figure out the best way to hunt them. I talked to a guy down form Denver. He always has good luck… Continue reading

I’d like to hear some of Randy’s calling one of these days.

NMDuckaholic Posted By: seeker28 Guest Marci’s Duck Hole 11-07-2006 17:44 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 45-50 Degrees Hooked up with the reigning NM Duck Calling Champion today. Said he’d seen a few ducks in a place he put some sweat into scouting. I wasn’t really expecting to see a lot of birds as the moon was full, the winds were calm, temp is up, and we are between fronts. But I realy didn’t feel like raking leaves. So the… Continue reading

Posted By: Ray-Sands Field Editor Make Peace 10-28-2012 20:56 Mostly Cloudy, No Precipitation – 60-65 Degrees Greetings from the flat lands down Jersey! Gunned Makepeace Saturday and water was already up with out Sandy. All the shooting was at legal then nothing at all. Gunned with Big Bill and the McGowan clan. Billy picked up a black and Jaybird a couple of woodies. Woodies were everywhere at legal and gone. The flood tides from Sandy will get the birds all scrambled up and I don’t expect any birds still out in the salt meadows with all the flooding for opening day. Would have been some great mud hen – rail bird shooting but we gave that up years ago. Be safe in the storm!

Posted By: Ray-Sands Field Editor Cedar Swamp and California Creeks 12-26-2011 20:28 Sunny & Clear, High Winds – 45-50 Degrees Greetings from the flat lands down Jersey! Saturday I gunned the Corbin City impoundments. Popped a black duck @ first light and there were ducks trading the river early. By 9am nothing the show was over. Not too many ducks but many duck hunters – many duck hunters. I cannot remember when I saw so many people out duck hunting since maybe the early 80’s. Today they were calling for wind with gusts of 25-30 and the tide was high @ 1030. I figured the ducks would be moving inland to find some shelter. So I gunned the fork of Cedar Swamp and California Creeks. WHAT AN AIR SHOW! Black ducks flew all morning long – evan as I was picking up at 11am. I easily had 75 birds come… Continue reading

Posted By: Ray-Sands Field Editor Griscom Swamp CMC 10-09-2010 19:41 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees Greetings from the flat lands down Jersey! Geese –Geese and more Geese were making the jump on the bay today to Delaware and beyond. Black Geese flew all day and the white geese were spotty at best. GWTeal have arrived too. Out and about today and we did spy a fair amount of GWTeal but where are the BWTeal? I would have thought they were already here – must be out on the Delaware bay side because they are not on the Ocean side of the peninsula LOL. We did enough chores today so we are getting out in the Kayak after church to a see what’s up in Cedar Swamp and Middle River. Not long now!!! BANG! BANG!

Posted By: Ray-Sands Field Editor Griscom Swamp & Lakes Bay 10-13-2009 22:28 Mostly Sunny, No Precipitation – Over 70 Degrees Greetings from the flat lands down Jersey! Spied the first brant and buffleheads of the season today in Lakes Bay. Not the big jags of brant yet but they are here. Snows and Black geese flying over this evening for about three hours to make the jump to Delaware. If the weather holds I will add a couple of dozen white stools to the rig in hopes of any straggler juveniles. Feel like a kid just before Christmas. Saturday cannot get here soon enough!

Posted By: Ray-Sands Field Editor Griscom Swamp 09-29-2008 00:00 Cloudy, Occassional Rain Showers – Over 70 Degrees Greetings from the flatlands down Jersey! September Canada season has been a bit of a disappointment but being out and about our hopes are up with the arrival of all of the BWTeal in Griscom. The Nor’easter stopped and they were here! I was seeing small groups 10-20 birds but yesterday it was 50-200 birds in a group. And the local greenheads seemed to have done well this breeding season … but I fear they will be just like the local Canadas – once they are shot at, it will take ice to move them back into the meadows. Southern opener is just around the corner – can not wait!
