Hello again all mt technologically advanced and well connected waterfowl enthusiast friends. Welcome to Muck Bottom Outfitters Waterfowl Report. A 5 am wake up call and not much wind and clear skies. Decided to head out anyway. Arrived at the Ditch 15 mins before shootin' time and hurried in. The sounds of ducks and geese were everywhere. Lots of birds flipping around early and continued on for over an hour and a half. Was a loner today so I decided not to move the 100+ decoy spread and boy was that a mistake! North wind spread on South wind day. Sat and sat and sat listening to every spread within 5 miles light up the skies. The bottoms sounded like a shooting range this morning. Managed to empty just once on a gang of "bills" and no luck. What a frustrating morning! There are 5 times more birds here now than there was just over a week ago. Saw lots of Can's and heard Snows but never managed to see them. Wrapped up the day from 3PM to close and shot one beautiful spoonbill, so no skunk. Saw plenty of birds again and the new wetland is holding all of them, man I wish those guys would start hunting. Heard a couple reports from the weekend.
South Ditch: Friday Professor Binelli handled 3 Big Can's late in the day. Was hoping to get some action on ducks, but all he could do was watch more Can's piled in without a means of taking. He was the only one in the Dtich. Saturday, managed to wrap up 2 Geese,one banded, and a couple ducks.
South to the East Ditch: Saturday hammered 3 out of 3 Can's that came off the river and also took 4 ducks home with them.
Kohler West MC wrote: A killing crew this weekend handled just about every bird that got close. Ducks on Saturday, geese on Sunday. Saturday - 14 ducks decoyed and 12 went on the pile…1 of 3 on GWT, 6 for 6 on Mallards and 5 for 5 on Gadwall.Sunday - 9 geese decoyed and 8 went on the pile…4 of 5 on Ross and 4 for 4 on monster sized Canadas. (Six sunburns also recorded
Not a whole lot going on around the area from what I gather. Today couldn've been decent but lack of preparation and laziness will never, ever, never, ever kill ducks. Treat everyday like it's "the day." No reason to be there if you don't! The wind switched just before sun down and 10-15 from the N tomorrow with some clouds. Although temps aren't cooperating the wind will be with gusts up to 25. Knock 'em down if your out. That's all for now. Check back for the latest and greatest and thanks for all the hits.
