Are some ducks showing up with the first front?
I had to fly out on Saturday morning to Africa for work so I didn't get a chance to get out to the marsh to see if some ducks have started to show up with the first good front of the year. Have any of you guys started seeing a ducks show up with this front around your leases??

The guy that hunts to the West of me on the farm I hunt on South of Kaplan went out there yesterday morning and told me we are covered in ducks. Mostly teal with a good number of big ducks. He said he also saw and heard some Specs flying over. We have a ton of Indigo in our field since it was not rice farmed in a few years. I cannot wait for NOV 12th. I will be heading that way later this week to get our pond buffaloed again.

I was hoping to hear some reports like that, My Dad and some of the other guys in our lease went pull some boats in the marsh the day I left, I haven't got a report from them yet as to what the duck nunbers are looking like in the Boston yet. I'm sure a decent number of ducks got pushed down. Hopefully we get a few more good cold front before Nov 12. I'd sure like to shoot a few big ducks with some teal mixed in on opening day. I'm ready when I get back I have to go into work for a few days then I'm going on a deer hunt then it will be time to shoot some ducks.

Man I thought I was crazy the other morning when I went outside before daybreak and could have sworn I heard some geese... I live just north of 14 in Nunez. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
good numbers of geese here already. just hope they stay and get cozy.

Saw a good body of geese last weekend by the lease. We set out a few dozen full bodies and a couple hundread rags to pull them on our lease.

Aweome news guys souds like the making of a good opening weekend. I'm hoping they find my lease and get good and comfortable. It's the best our marsh has looked in a long time.

Two groups of Specks spotted Saturday morning at Eunice Rifle and Gun Club range.

I'm not educating the birds, I'm conditioning them to come into the decoys and my field without anyone shooting them. The birds imprint my field as a "safe" zone, and it will be until they get popped. |
You can't be serious

A handful on Fausse pointe but not in any numbers yet. The shad are really starting to school and seeing big balls of them so there will be plenty of food when the ducks do show up

I will have to try that out. This year we made an e-caller that runs on solar. It plays @ set times during day and @ night with full moon. The geese pile in, but we have to turn it off the week before season starts. |

Flight sucks spent night on farm in shreveport (off red river). Two groups of 60+ each, stayed out on a hole we rarely see ducks on, left next day.
Also since some of y'all may know, when is the best time to put water on your duck fields (if in rice, cut rice, millet, etc)? Place in question is NE LA and I'd think at least two weeks prior to season! |
