1/9 & 1/10 Duck Report
Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2002 9:39 am
WED MORNING
Hunted in tallahatchie county, near tippo.
Flooded timber/slough. 1 gadwall, 1 woodie.
Ducks were pouring into a hole about 50 yards south of us. We moved down to where they were coming, they stopped flying. Ducks are very call shy, the only thing that remotely works is a mallard dweet call. Good time, too much water.
WED AFTERNOON
Went and scouted a place at grenada lake, didnt bring any decoys, got up about 50-100 mallards on the water, we pulled into a cypress brake to get out of the wind. The mallards we got up showed up and were coming to the call like crazy. We killed one pintail net even trying. We left to so that we could come back and get them tomorrow. Lake was whitecapping, rough on the jonboat.
THURSDAY MORNING
Tallahatchie County same spot as Wed morning.
Killed 4 ducks; 2 gadwalls, 1 woodie, 1 mallard. Duck didn't come in like they did the previous morning. Had a good time, all the high water makes it hard to hide sometimes.
THURSDAY AFTERNOON
Grenada Lake, went back tot the spot we scouted on Wed afternoon. Jumped up the same bunch of ducks as we did on Wed. they got up and never came back, didn't fire a shot, saw two more ducks the whole afternoon. Had a good time with some ol college buddys. We hunted hard two days and didnt manage much. Tough year.
