Mallard pairs over winter down south before returning north together in spring. Conversely, many adult drake mallards fly north to Canada and elsewhere to molt, so perhaps fewer of them are in the state on the opener than later in the season. Blue-wing teal, by contrast, swim away and stay hidden, making them harder to count. But their homing behavior can vary widely. Recent California research shows that some hens enter only one or perhaps a few boxes to nest, while others enter and leave scores of boxes.
Often, in fact, they seem to divert over decoys, as if heading elsewhere to wooded roosts while giving hunters only passing glances. I'm fairly new to goose hunting I'm a bow hunter and I hunt with a few guys that are equally as new. We all live and hunt in the north east metro about an hour from Minneapolis.
Being new to the sport, our goose calling needs some work. Does anyone know of someone that gives goose calling lessons? The lessons don't need to be in the northeast metro, we can travel. I am in need of a new wood duck. Hey every one, my old lohman wood duck finally bit the big one, so I am in the market for realistic sounding wood duck call.
My old lohman would stop woodies in their tracks, but I heard the duck commander wood duck call and it sounded off. Please let me know what you use and how it work thank you. Been water hunting only so far, on permanent water. Ducks are dispersed with all the temporary flood water around from all the rain. Crops are slowly coming out, will probably be behind schedule due to wet conditions. Locals the first two weekends, but the cold front last week move a lot of local ducks out and a few new birds moved in out of ND and Canada.
Good luck, and I will see you out there somewhere. Any duck reports?? Any bird reports from the South end??? Just wondering if anyone is seeing anything flying or loafing. I am coming up for the weekend to do some maintenance on my parents place. Trying to decide what to haul up there.
I know what I saw a month ago, but a lot can change in a short time on big water. People with eyes on conditions helps. Next Weekend. With all the ducks I am seeing next weekend should be a fun time. I am going to be chasing Ducks in the morning and deer in the evening. I am jacked up for this duck season. My cousins husband said we will be doing more diver hunts this year. I am thinking I will hunt my dad's pond opening morning, because I will be deer hunting the field that afternoon. Decoy upgrade.
For many years I could only afford the cheapest decoys - which worked. But, I finally upgraded my goose floaters. Can you see the difference? Gnh used 6 years with paining touch ups verses avian x. It is that time of year. It is about time to start scouting for deer. I have been seeing lots of deer hitting bean fields. The deer have been using a trail near the pond at my dads and this is good for me seeing I can hunt on the down wind side of this trail.
Is anyone starting to get the itch to sit in a stand waiting for deer to come by? The oats and wheat field are be harvested and the geese are starting to fly around looking for the harvested ones. I have been looking for ducks and have been finding a good number of wood ducks, teal, and mallards around for now.
I will be getting some practice time in with the crossbow, so I am ready for the first day of deer season. I should get out and shoot some trap as well with the shotgun to get ready for the goose season. It's the final countdown!!!!!! Federal Duck Stamps came out today.
Can't say I've ever seen a Ruddy Duck but it won the contest. If the stamps are out the seasons have to be getting close. If you think about it early goose is only a month month and a half away! Time to start putting spreads together, adding those last minute decoys to the stack and tossing layout blinds in the sun to get faded.
Anyone hunting ducks over 16years old needs a stamp. I would recommend you buy your young hunters one too. Just for the memory factor. Moose is getting a LAB puppy. This was my brute when I got back from deer hunting. In his waders, amid his decoys. Some will shoot limits, some will just shoot, a lot. Opening day of the waterfowl season at Carlos Avery is like the State Fair: You cast aside a level of decency, but it only comes once a year.
Still, I tried that scene once , and that was plenty for me. So I paddled away from it all in my trusty solo canoe.
