How is the season going

[chop123]

Guys how are your season going thus far?Mine is really sucking so far,the geese dont seem to be here like they were this time last year.They also are not hitting the winter wheat like they usually do early in the season,strange.This time last year i had did some real damage,so far only two geese,in a field,water is where i do best.I live in Northumberland County,Virginia.

same here... the ducks and geese dont seem to be around.. i went out thurs fri and today and shot 1 mallard and 1 black duck thats about it. if it wasn't for pheasant hunting after duck hunting this weekend would have been a complete wash. It's the weather its still in the high 50's here in NJ and its almost Dec!

[Drake18]

Same here in North Carolina... the temps have been a little on the warm side and the ducks are basically non existant, this really sucks because last year was awesome and I was really looking forward to slaying them this year with my new Benelli!

Very slow here in California. At least we have 60 more days, and January is usually the best month.

A ton of birds just north of St' Louis first few days of the season. Then I guess the alien's came and got, no one I know of has shot a bird in two weeks around these parts.

Still waiting on a push from the north. Hopefully soon.

Long Island very slow... Two black ducks were taking but the geese aren't moving at all... Some flocks moving through but it is still to warm. We need things to freeze up north for more birds. Our season closes for 1 week so let the cold weather move on in...

If your waiting for a big push from the north keep waiting.....I am in the north and still waiting for a late Mallard flight but its just not happening yet, too warm and nothing is froze over yet. It will be cold this week, but may be not enough to push them down. Most all northern lakes and rivers are all open, which is odd this late in the year.

There are no ducks in VA..... There are no ducks in VA.....

Huh? Why don't the two on the left have green heads?
Just giving you a hard time, looks like you had a good shoot.

[TMAC]

He thawed those out from last year.........or someone gave them to him. :)

That stuff really bothers some folks.
They're too tasty to pass up in my opinion. :cool:

The ducks have been almost non-existent in western Arkansas. Like everyone keeps saying, just waiting on the weather up north to cooperate.

[birddog2]

Tucker, I like hens as well. Doesn't bug me a bit.

[Lefty81]

Anyone seeing ducks yet? Our place is flooded at the moment so any ducks we're getting are all spread out through the timber.

[mudhen]

Took careful aim at the greenhead, crushed the hen :(

Im at school in south dakota right now, the season is pretty much over here and it was very slow! Im heading back to western wyoming this week to hopefully alot better hunting. I really hope that we get a good push of birds soon cause its been a slow one so far. If not, there are always coyotes and rabbits:)

[cajuncop]

well in SW La. a couple hours and you have your limit the ducks are thick you almost can pick and choose which ones you want to shoot. i went a week ago and all we did was just shoot and we never even broke out the calls.

Kind of slow in NE Arkansas this morning - killed 7 (2 mallards)

[boomer17]

Ive been to commerce watershed a few times, Hartwell lake (most success), and the Savannah River on the South Carolina border.

[huntandride]

Its been froze tight here in nevada.About a week and a half of straight -15 and snowingweather. Kinda a slow season overall. Hoping for it to open back up or melt the snow to start slaying some geese in the feilds

[shaman]

bad, hasn't been good at all.

[stevenm2]

hey all

this is my first season of waterfowl shooting in the UK

Ive shot about a dozen ducks and a goose lol

Could be better but delighted that its my first season

[T Man]

How bout some pics of the european ducks.

Season is shut down here for 2 weeks for doe season. It was sucking anyway. A straight month of sub freezing temperatures has about 4" of ice on top of every pond and strip pit around, and the few inches of snow on top of that makes it prime time to sit in the house and talk about the way things used to be

[stevenm2]

i dont have any as of yet.

Mainly just mallard and teal and grey lag geese!

[TMAC]

Ducks are all long gone up north, so you boys down south can have your way with them.......Shoot em in the lips!!

[Matt D]

We were on the White River Refuge in Arkansas early this week the first two days were real good with the rice fields frozen they were in the refuge, but by day three the ducks were on the more south with temps in the mid teens.

At home the high tomorrow is forecast at -2, we are froze solid.

[mudhen]

Fun day in the foggy/rainy rice :)

[chop123]

Not to bad today two honkers and two mallards,should have been three ducks but my gunning was subpar,if my brother or dad had been with me we really could have wacked the geese,about twenty came in,two is the limit.

[chinogoose]

Mudhen nice take. I hunt down in the valley and had my best day in the fog. Good luck on the rest of the season:D
