Posted By: bridgeman Web Member Ohio River at Carrolton Ky 01-16-2010 19:45 Sunny & Clear, Morning Fog – 45-50 Degrees Duck Hunt 1-16-10 Since it was iced up above Meldahl last week I decided to try my old hunting grounds Down stream, I went to Carrollton Ky mile 546 Ohio River. Had a fantastic Breakfast at Welch’s downtown on the river. I walked in with a local Gordan , who allowed me to sit at his table with Mike and Mike’s grandson. River at pool, low 43 no wind sunny. Put in at the new ramp next to the Ky River. There were a lot of trucks at the ramp, I suspect some were fishermen. A commercial fisherman was pulling out at 9:30 when I was putting in. He gave a local catfisher a 30lb live catfish, The river was green and a sheet of glass. I started up and… Continue reading

I Hope Posted By: Shawn-Keeton Web Member 12-16-2009 08:03 – – – Goose, I saw in the neighborhood of 1K (which is a lot for around these parts) in my drivings yesterday. Not the most I’ve ever seen but good numbers and they are scattered out enough that people should get some good shoots. Not like it is when they all stage on an Ash Pond and no one gets a crack at them. Posted By: GOOSE SLAYER22 Web Member 12-15-2009 14:27 – – – Im down in western part… Continue reading

Posted By: Shawn-Keeton Web Member 09-15-2009 07:34 – – – We are going about 1 hour east of Winnipeg. We are hunting the 5th through the 9th. I am hoping to get into some snows. I have reports that they are already trickling into that area. Well this weekend turned out pretty good. We shot limits of geese Saturday and Sunday. We shot all of our birds over wheat fields this year. That’s a first. Although I have shot birds in wheat in the past, this year that was the only place that I could really pattern them. There are tons of geese around and we saw a couple hundred both days, its just hard to find them using the same spots day after day. The wood ducks are thick as well. This weekend should be lots of fun. I have yet to see and teal but the woodies are… Continue reading

Posted By: Shawn-Keeton Web Member 02-11-2009 07:42 – – – I pray that everyone’s lives are getting back to normal again. The ice has melted off a lot of the ponds and I’ve already been seeing geese paired up. Watch out for the downed trees today after this big windstorm goes through. On a brighter note, I read an article that says turkey numbers will be the best this year that they have ever been due to the abundance of cicadas last year when the poults were small. That will make for a bunch of jakes this year but next year should really be a banner one with all the two year olds.

Posted By: Shawn-Keeton Web Member 01-23-2009 08:01 – – – Those bouncing waves sure do mess up the skiff’n bridge. Many O times we’ve had the ducks unaware only to have a wave come by and mess us up. Posted By: bridgeman Web Member Ohio River below Dover Ky 01-22-2009 20:23 Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 10-20 Degrees – Open Water Duck Hunt 1-22-09 Jim and I went to Dover on the Ohio River mile 420 this morning to float in the skiff.

Was first at Dover ramp at 9:30, river was calm, very little wind. Put in and headed down the Ky bank. The sky was full of Geese flying US in bunches of 20 which went on… Continue reading

The river way WAY up and tons of garbage (it really makes you ashamed to see all the junk in the river) and was rolling along pretty good. We ended up with 8 mallards and probably saw 200 mallards, a handful of black ducks, some ringnecks and a beautiful drake pintail in addition to 250-300 geese. Although we were the only boat the river was not unhuntable. Anywhere there were trees the current was farther off the bank and the ducks were hanging out in these pockets. Like on past ventures we noticed quickly that the only places that would hold ducks were the pockets that had grass in them. The rock shore’s or… Continue reading

Posted By: Shawn-Keeton Web Member 01-06-2009 08:22 – – – Well fellers, its been a different kinda week for sure. We hunted a local pond on Thursday. We had been seeing a few ducks and geese using it. There wasn’t much wind and so we put out our Pulsator and it looked fantastic on the calm water. The birds are using these smaller ponds and lakes during the days and feeding in fields around my area. We had a group of 4 mallards come in and got 3 of them, followed by a single mallard drake. A little while later we have a single goose come in, but just before he gets in he’s joined by another single bird. After the smoke clears and the dog comes back I find that its a specklebelly. The first speck I have ever seen, much less killed in this part of KY. He… Continue reading
