Re: How was the weekend

Scratched out 3 GWT and a hen shoveler. Saw less than 150 ducks total even high flyers. I was expecting better numbers but the rain Friday night had the delta looking like the Atlantic Ocean.

Re: &*^$ing trespasser stole my camera and deer stand

First off bulldog he is not a hunter but a thief, trespasser, and probably a poacher. I had a climber and a ladder stand stole off my dads property this year. Like you I am pretty sure who did it and where they live but have to prove it. After all its not what you know but what you can prove. I am ...

Re: Where are the ducks????????

Had to go to Paragould, AR today for work. Arkansas is officially submerged. I saw on field holding a number of ducks (500-1000). Other than that just a lot of water. I'll be in the deer stand until we get some weather up north.

Re: They're somewhere

Went yesterday and killed the only duck that gave us a chance. At least it was a green head. Didn't see much flying all day. Had a buddy tell me they posted a goose egg this am.

Re: foam decoys

Sounds like the old Herter blocks. They are very good decoys and hold up well. They are best if you can leave out. The ones we had didn't have keels to wrap line around. We would order paint from Herter's and paint the blocks directly. You can expect to do this every couple of years if you are not ...

Re: MS River

I know the game warden mentioned that the dust bowl conditions of I believe the 1930's could have caused a shift but that migrations weren't tracked then so there is really no telling. This is a simple explanation as to why it would shift. Enviromental changes may have caused the shift and it it is ...

Re: MS River

I talked to a game warden that thinks the flyway is shifting west into OK. They are killing a lot of birds out their in the peanut fields. I can say as someone who hunts the river that the past five or six seasons have been very poor. You just don't see ducks working back and forth or up down the ...

Re: Potatoes, I wanna know what this is about.

I have also heard that doing jumping jacks in you r spread works wonders! Seems to work on my holes. The best quote is " you have to be where the ducks want to be". If they don't want in your hole you can put virgin hens out there and they ain't coming. I wouldn't waste the time or money with taters.

Re: Which shotgun to get

Mossberg 835 is a good gun. Always go with a pump action. They won't jam up win rought conditions.
