it has been slow. Ive been 5 times this year, 2 times i didnt even shoot and 1 time i missed everything i shot at! The other 2 times ive got three and five. Not seen many ducks at all this year. Only saw 15 or 20 birds on the chick last monday.
I have to say it....I went home this weekend to Arkansas and visited. I saw ducks and geese by the thousands. I talked to a couple of my nephews who have been duck hunting a lot this year and they have limited out on mallards every time they have gone.
I think the ducks are just not making it down our way. They told me it was the best year in some time and the main problem they were having is shooting a limit too quickly and having to leave right after they get there.emoDoh My dad said about the same thing but he has not been able to go this year. Sure is one heck of a difference between them and us.emoSorry Jmax

Well just rub it in jmaxx!!emoBadLanguage just kiddin lol. I talked to my hunting buddy on christmas and he said the same. Hes been hunting on bayou meto and wearing them out. His rice field has not been very productive this year though. Im trying to get back down there here in a few weeks.
Went down to Bama twice last week. Weather is still not right. Mabye Tuesday of next week it will pick up. Gotta have good wind to work all the gaddys and not having someone set up on top of ya helps too. Mallard holes still arent holding any birds and colder weather has to happen. Still not seeing any new birds. I had gadwall flare off my decoys all day and a duck call seems to flare most birds immediatly. Have had most success on singles and pairs of mallards. Mabye some colder weather will get some widgeon and greenwingers down soon. Im sick of the gadwall.
