A quick hunt yesterday morning showed some promise and hope. Dropped two Mallards out of 2 different groups of 3 and blasted at a group of 6 Can's. We hadn't seen really any geese yet and this was our first day of more than 1 Mallard. There was some early morning movement of ducks that appeared to be migrators. Got a variety of stuff, to report about.
First off, the Boyer Boys and Dr. Oz have shot us their first report and season progress so far. Dr Oz wrote: It's been a little slow this week but we are seeing birds. The Boyer area has plenty of water, horseshoe is full of water and ducks and we have a new twist with a flooded timber area about three miles away.We have seen one thousand to two thousand ducks daily. The decoying part has been a problem. They have a pattern going and we seem to be a little off the X. We have managed to kill 79 ducks as of 11-17-2010. And 6 Canada's so far. Where are the geese? Seems some weather is about to hit ND cold weather early next week with lows -7 and highs 5 degrees. I wish everyone good luck and be safe. Happy Thanksgiving too.
Also, received a call for the Sillosocks Boys and the Master on the Grounds said this. Watching hundreds of "chickens" rolling into the area. They just appeared out of nowhere. The orange sky was full of geese tonight (Thur). The birds will start this next week and through Thanksgiving.
Finally, the South Ditch has 3 hunters and ran away with 4 Mallards. They reported some minor movement as well early in the day (Thur) but left the ditch before noon as everything shut off.
That's all for now, check back and keep a watchful eyeball to the North. It's gonna happen and it's gonna be fast.
