Glass half empty? Lol

Man you never have bad days. You are either catching or killing limits daily.

Was wondering how y'all were doing. Our greenwings just started to show up a little the last 2-3 days.

Man, it hasn?t been that good. We are killing a bunch of ringnecks this year to offset the other ducks we normally kill. Specks are sparse, but the ones that are there just come to die. Guess it can?t be banner every year, but damn, it?s nice when it is! We have been seeing a fair amount of green wings. I️ wouldn?t say any record numbers, but the teal are helping us out, too.

When its 45* degrees in St. Paul with no frozen lakes I'm surprised we have any ducks! Global warming anyone?

This weather will keep them in the marsh for a few days ... until next wknd when the weather warms up again smh

[all star rod]

Hunted today my blind SW kaplan by my self. Trying to get my new lab pup up to speed by hunting her as much as possible. 2 teal, 1 woodie, 1 scaup and 2 ring necks. Trophy hunt with the way things have been...lol

[me1ancon]

only made 2 marsh trips, 1st trip (opening day)- 2 grays & 2 teal, 2nd trip- 2 teal, 2 blackjacks, 2 grays). rice fields haven't been any better for ducks but have been dropping spec limits regularly so it's not a total bust.

[Dogface]

Well, I’m kinda glad the 1st split is over. Although we had some good hunts it was below average to say the least. Even when we killed limits we were seeing very few birds and if it wasn’t for teal we would have been in trouble. Let’s hope the 2nd split is better.

[specksNdaSURF]

Killed 2 man limit in Pecan Island Sat. all BWT could had 4 man if had more guns..... and slept in Sun. morning bc fog was so bad ...i think full moon pushed a bucha teal on our place bc there was a ton for the first hour of shooting time Sat morning. Hopefully 2nd split is better.

Shot 4 GWT Saturday am. Had a bunch in the decoys but people across the lake shot a tad before LST and they took off. Not bad for a new spot, first GWT I've shot in two years I think. Skunked in the fog Sunday! To warm.

Shot a few geese and 2 teal on Sunday morning. Left at 930 to head to the saints game. Not many ducks flying S of Kaplan

[ckinchen]

Shot 9 Sunday after the fog lifted four were scaup, two guns. Hoping for a better second split.
