Can’t believe no one has started a thread about duck season yet! Y’all ready? What kind of area are ya gonna hunt?

I’ve been scouting pretty hard the last few weeks. We’ve got some birds here but we have A LOT of water! The ducks will be spread out thin, feeding in shallow places that normally aren’t flooded. I’ll be in some flooded timber somewheres, maybe on the edge of some timber where it’s flooded out in a field. I had a spot found that was holding Mallards, woodies, and teal, so they’ll be dispersed from there now with it at flood stage here.

Coots have moved in in full force over the past 2 weeks. Seen some gadwalls here and there driving to and from work across the bay up close that I could positively ID. Planning on taking the boat out Friday or Saturday and scoping out a spot for opening day. Saw a large group of smallish ducks landing a couple hundred yards from the road earlier this week while driving...probably blue wings considering the lack of birds we had during September! Still have yet to kill a late season drake. Ducks have definitely started to show up, though. I’d imagine this cold blast will make for a good opener. I just hope it doesn’t get too warm over thanksgiving.

Be heading to NE AR tomorrow after work. Our ducks moved out this week. Maybe they will return by Sat. Haven't even looked at my AL holes and won't until Thanksgiving day.

Need to decide if deer or ducks take priority this weekend. Maybe I'll pack the truck for both and see what I decide to do about 6 pm on Friday.

The south zone opened here in SW la last weekend. I've heard a few good reports of ducks being killed. A few mallards and pintails killed but mostly blueing teal, spoonbills and gadwalls. The better reports are coming out of the better duck marshes. The rice fields are not so good. Depends on the weather. The north zone opens tomorrow and should get a few birds moving around got a few days. The snow geese are really starting to show up good due to the cold weather up north. Most say if the blue wings leave its gonna make for some weak hunts. Another real old snap and they are gone.

A good friend just sent video of the pit they are hunting in the morning.

Absolutely unreal at the numbers of ducks and geese he just sent in a video.

Me and my boy are gonna hunt a little beaver pond in the am, I've seen a few wood ducks in there so I'm hoping they'll be there tomorrow so my young'un can shoot at a few. Been 10 years since I've shot at a duck but my son wants to try it so we are gonna try it


We are not perfect, only forgiven!!!

Yeah, I hear ya. But don't do it to your son. It's an affliction, a disease, a scourge. I wish I never knew about it.
