River Hunting?

[Kealhofer]

I went to the Ms. River Sunday from 7:00-2:30 and only saw 4 ducks. Where were they? I went to Eagle Lake a few weekends ago and saw thousands coming off of the river right before dark. I would appreciate any advice for hunting on the river. No smart remarks please!!!

there out there but stacked up in the little cut off pockets of water iff ya feel like the 100 mile walk and figuer a way to hide there is a few birds out there...........but then again you just might be tresspassing

I found birds wherever there was sea gulls not a ton but a few I dunno?

Most likely any pockets of water off the river probably are on private land. Look for water behind sandbars.

How do you know they were coming off of the river and not from across the river where all those rice fields are? Seriously.

The good locations on the river are still high and dry. Until the river gets at least 19 to 22 feet very few ducks will use it except to raft for a little while. They be in the rice fields.

water trapped behind core rock dikes I dunno if thats considered trespassing but if it wasn,t real close to the main channel dunno if I would risk it...

Fields froze Friday and the ducks moved to the river. when they unthawed Sunday they moved back to the source of food. Prolly was a day late on your hunt.

[Stano]

Ya that what they normally do not this year in my neck of the woods they stacked up in several holes in very large numbers and kept the water open trouble is it was own nothing of mine

[River Hunter]
