Posted By: Larry-Olson Field Editor Northern Panhandle and North Platte river 12-26-2012 21:39 Cloudy, Snow Flurries – 10-20 Degrees – Ice Well I haven’t been able to hunt much but the birds are definitely on the river. There are thousands of both geese and ducks roosting in my area and we are managing to shoot some most days. We have only had two skunk days and those were on calm bluebird days. Anytime we have some wind or snow we seem to knock a few down. Patricks are starting to add up the numbers on both geese and ducks. Mike’s Lisco blind has been stacking them up again this week. We all had a lull between the first cold blast and now when the weather was very pleasant but it’s cold… Continue reading

Posted By: Larry-Olson Field Editor Northwest Panhandle 08-07-2012 08:32 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees Like john said this is the worst drought I have ever seen. Luckily we started with good water conditions But they are fast deteriorating. The white and Niobrara rivers are down to trickle Here near there origin. There were good numbers of ducks here in the spring But they are no longer to b e found. Local Canada geese seem to have weathered it quite well. there is practically no grass in the pastures. As John said if you have water you should do well this fall Especially on push days. I am picking up a neey w lease this year it should be good time will tell.

Posted By: Larry-Olson Field Editor NE 01-11-2012 18:47 Arctic Blast – 10-20 Degrees – Ice Well winter arrived up here again today. We had about four inches of snow accompanied by high winds. We were planning on heading to the sandhills to try for geese Sunday but will make sure they are still there before we go to such pains. I did recieve some reports of good hunting from the meadow blind near Bridgeport. They have been successful every day they hunted recently and report alot of geese in their area. Mike’s Lisco blind reports alot of geese on the Garden county refuge but they are very patterned and not decoying well.

He was alone in his blind and was decoying ducks constantly and… Continue reading
