End of duck season

[ckinchen]

So how was your season this year? Do not give out your exact location to avoid competition keep it to general areas.

For us it was slow compared to prior years. We hunt in JB and we had high water all year. One of my other leases around hackberry was good first split but slow second split which is customary for that lease. Our south texas property had a decent year but I almost never went down there.

mine sucked. first split probably would have been decent but i missed all of it due to that damn JOB thing. second split was horrible, our worst ever by a long shot. I did have a few good hunts in big pasture.

With the high water we never got our green wings second split which we live on. I missed a bunch of the first split due to football.

I saw that Steve German had one of his best year at there place in JB. Think they killed 501 birds in one blind

Bob et al in the East Zone,

Our blind in Bunkie sucked for ducks except for a few hunts. On those hunts we killed good ducks mallards and pintails but we never could have killed 4 man limits of those ducks. We could have shot limits of spoons several days but I can't overcome my raising to not waste shells on ducks I don't care to eat. We never had any big groups of teal on the farm either which was weird.

As for geese we did we'll after the first week of the season or at least when I was there. I killed more specks than last year in much fewer hunts and actually killed more snows and blues than specks. Surprisingly the snows and blues actually decoyed like specks.

And Bob, I won't ever snake your blind up there but if teal season is included then call me before you drop it.

As for our blinds in the Coastal Zone ducks were spotty at best. Some days we hammered the pintails with a few mallards and gadwalls mixed in and the next day there wouldn't be a duck. We actually finished very strong at one farm but at one traditionally good blind at another farm it was dead after January 1st. The overall absence of green wing teal is scary.

For geese we did very well at 1 of our farms which more than made up for our frustration at our other farms, One of our blinds did really well until Christmas and then they were gone.

I was disappointed in our 3rd blind because I would have considered it to be one of the best blinds around for specks. We had 5 or 6 great hunts early on but because of the poor duck hunting in their fields our neighbors hunted their goose blinds hard every day for about 3 weeks straight, called constantly, and sky busted everything that came close, and the specks flat out left. Oh and I forgot to mention about the propane cannon in the crawfish pond across the road ...

Just my thoughts.

Decent year on vbay. Ruddy ducks made up most our bag with an occasional scaup or bonus merganser. Interested to see what everyone else did. If u don't mind put your area where u hunt, amount killed, and who u lease from.
