it has been slow for us south of kaplan since friday....2-3 ducks per hunt. hope this rain coming will stir up the ducks.

They left last week for some reason. I make that drive often. I stopped out there a few weeks back just to look and see the species make up and 99.9% were spoonbills. Never seen that many in one place in my life although I hear there are 13,000 of them sitting on a pond in Crowley right now:)

So thats where my birds went

Getting close to the end guys hope everyone out bust their ***. Getting back after them sunday hope some new birds come down with this cold weather.

x 2.....
the two other guys I share the lease went yesterday and they shot their 2 man limit....mostly gw teal.

i love shooting teal make for a quick limit and the best eating imo.

I guess this thread has done ran it's course?

i don't know if i'll get to hunt this weekend and next weekend, watch, will be motherfrikin 60 degrees again.

DGG whats the word in GC?

gonna be cold this weekend i think

lots and lots of water according to my father-n-law, and very few ducks around.

I hunted in a pit near Hayes today. Not much flying at all. We killed 5. The amount of water everywhere is unbelievable!

yep i'm sure any new birds that came in have their pick of where they want to go now.

Stupid me left my tunnel boat in da water on the bank. Hunting partner went yesterday; engine was inches from being under water with everything floating inside! Seems we picked up around 5 inches in GC. Feast or famine down there lately. What ducks are down there are scattered everywhere. Might have to hunt out of the blinds in smaller ponds the last 2 weekends. Might go scouting Friday morning if i can get out.
DGG, this thread ain't over till the season ends! Best one ever! Thanks!

same here with the boat ours was almost sunk. With all that water it's gonna be tough for sure. Not gonna be able to pass on any shots now if it flies it dies.

if I go out Friday I'll give ya a heads up on whats out there.......
Just a passing thought; last time we had all this water during the season the ducks moved into flooded pastures north of the road. Might have to take a ride on our northern section to see if they moved in those fields....

sounds good. The pasture behind us was covered with birds during the first and begining of second split, but have moved on. I bet them pastures on the north side of the hwy are full of ducks.

Just bought me some waders! Ready to make a hunt with raymond. We finally got water in our field. Apparently a guy killed a limit of ducks at our blind today.

Man i wish i was hunting this morning! Should be good

peeeeyiiiiii its gonna be 27 degrees tomorrow around chootin time.

yep talk about a mallard and speck killing day. Clear and cold weather makes them sukers go crazy.

hate to say it but i got the fishin fever as of now.:eek:

not me! Now after duck season i'll be ready to put some slime in the boat.

i dont know what it is.... but i have this urge to go wade for a biggun.

i have the urge to go bust a ducks ***!!!!! I'm still mad at them suckers.

right there with you brother!!!!!!! Our lease in gc is underwater lol!!

ours to we have about a 1/2 inch over the floor right now.

bud couldn't get the boat in the boat hide this am

Well look at it this way with the high water we should still kill some spoonies and blackjacks.

Went hunt/scout Friday morn..... Very few ducks in the GC south marsh. Killed 2 spoonie and 2 Greys; that's all that came in. Rode the whole lease, first time this year we could! Ducks were scattered all over...none near our blinds..will hunt the grass for the rest of season.

thanks for the report i'm gonna go try it in the morning sounds like to much water they not concentrated anymore.

It's feast or famine down there! I figured we got around 6-7inches in GC. Chris they still have a bunch of greys on the front side in the broken smaller ponds. Teal vanished!
Good luck tomorrow...think I might try VB in the afternoon if winds stay calm.

oh yeah if it flies it dies tommor! My father-n-law got 5-6 inches at his house hopefully them greys want to dance tommo. Good luck to you also we need to get together and put a face with the name like we been talking about all year.

We're going down Friday night hunting Sat and Sunday closing. Stop by the camp, always have a cold one waitin'!

i'll be down there next weekend will call you and make it happen

Showed up to the blind to find a nice pond out there. Our hunting partner dropped about a dozen duck ducks out during the week and picked up a few. We managed 2 gw teal early and didnt fire a shot the rest of the day. Air was strange, calls echoed forever.

my brother-n-law didn't do good in gc either

Just recieved a call from my hunting partner in GC. He hunted the north side pastures that recently flooded this morning. Plenty birds, no wind, very still conditions, however 2 hunters killed 6 greys 6 widgeons. Missed out a a flight of pins setting over the dekes....guns not loaded yet.

i figured them flooded pastures are where they at

2 man limit of Mottles, banded Mallard, 2 Greys, 6 BWT and 1 GWT- Pecan Island 1/14/12

Nice! Good Pic also.

Nice hunt! North or south side of the highway?

1 grey and 1 blue goose for us today.

1 BW teal for us in JB, no wind sucks

1/2 mile North of 82/ flooded pasture

Pops hunted this morning at our SL blind. 2 specks, 2 mallard(one is the first green head of the season) and a teal. Maybe we can nickle and dime them till the end of the season.

Hunted SL sat am nice frost on the ground...snows where semi vocal...specks did not talk and flew high...they seemed skittish...and flew late around 9:30

Just put a defibrillator to this thread....
