Your Season Summary.

[Faithful Retrievers]

Started out good, since we had water. I think lack of cold weather had a huge affect on our duck slaying opportunities toward the end of the season. It doesn't seem right pouring sweat and fighting misquitos last day of season. Did not kill the number of mallards as usual. Most the time had a variety of ducks. Anybody else experience that this year? I would say first two weeks in December were the most productive. Atleast kept a good tan through duck season!

Started out great. Best first of the season hunts I've ever had. But from mid December on, it just plained sucked.

[Ducks be us]

SWEEEEEEEEEET

[Don Miller]

It was a stone cold groove! Probably the best season I have ever had in my 31 years of duck hunting. The only way it could have been better would have been to kill a banded bird or two.

[velcro]

Best I've had in my 14 years of hunting - I'm with Don Miller on the band comment.

[H20 Fowl]

My best season to date....as far as numbers of birds shot...

[cwink]

6 Hunts 21 birds.

12 Woodies.
9 Gadwall.
2 Wigeons.

Best season of my short duck hunting career.. No Greenheads yet, but the three most important words in Duck Huning is Location, Location, Location and Central MS just aint quite close enough. But I am still working on it...

Well the start to my season was absolutely terrible. Then the second half started which was great for the most part. Last week or so was not that great.

[Bill Collector]

The season started out unreal. 22 opening morning, 70 plus in Arkyland, then it went downhill from there. But I had many firsts this season. My first trip to Arky, my first Speck, first Canvasback, first limits of mallards, first time to watch my dog retrieve through ice (he didn't care for that worth a chit ) so even though it tapered off dramatically at the end, it was by far my best season.

[Seem too Xtrema2 you?]

I had 7 hunts where everyone limited out on mallards in arkansas (4-5 people per hunt)....one hunt in MS where everyone had 6 ducks limits of gaddies and mallards mixed...and I had about 7-10 other hunts in MS where each man averaged 2 ducks or so. I did shoot a redhead this year (only 2nd one ever--hunting a flooded tree line, not a likely diver spot)...And I got one band (my second one ever---a Gadwall that was banded in Saskatchewan 3 yrs ago). So, I would indeed call this a good year, but nothing spectacular for my MS hunting

Next year's resolutions include killing a bull sprig, a canvasback, and getting another band

The memories, both in my mind and caught on camera, are priceless though. Only about 300 days left till we start it up again!!!!

We'll as luck would have it my holes just got water two weeks ago. So the last two weeks have been great. Me my two boys and the dog have killed 36 mallards and a bunch of what I call scrap ducks. (woodies, gadwalls, widgeon and so on.) But hey, I may call them scrap ducks but I still cleaned them and will eat them.

[Greenhead22]

This was the first season in sometime when I didn't keep a logbook. I bet I didn't take 20 birds on my lease all season, by far the worst in many years.

[digger]

I would say my group's season was a 10 average between 4and8 huntre's a trip and we totaled out at 582 duck's mostly green.

[feather]

Ten hunts, 109 ducks. Zeroed twice so 8 hunts for 109 wasn't bad a'tall. Just didn't get to go enough. Mostly two of us but three twice and four hunters once. Seven of the ten hunts I got a limit so I'm real happy with the season.

....well, GH22...i can identify...we killed about half the ducks that we killed last year seems like every year since 2000 we just keep thinkin' it can't get any worse...but it did.... odd thing was %90 mallards...not near as many scrap ducks as in years past
