She is good looking, the old women, Just turned 7 but still has a little jump in her step. Steals my socks out of the laundry on a daily basis....I need to take her hunting more often.

Its been a weird year as far as weather goes for a water fowler. That early cold front had me worried when I saw a DU report of 550000 mallards already dabbling in Arkansas. A bad attitude wont get you any ducks and you can't get em on the couch. I headed out on Thanksgiving morning with not too high of hopes. I threw out my spread and saw a grand total of 3 high flyers. I was discouraged but prior to leaving had 15 geese fly over me and managed to scratch out one. The next weekend I brought a buddy up to the same location and I didn't have much hope. To my surprise saw a lot more ducks. Ducks did not respond much to call, but we did manage to get 3 gadwall to work the decoys. My buddy dumped one and I sky blasted. It was well worth the trip. Here are a few pics of my trips. Waiting for colder weather. Good luck to all Mike

what do you got in 7 foot

I figure I will actually contribute to this thread and thank fin and feathers and billethead for all their posts. Well, Headed out this morning chasing some teal. No scouting, no report from anyone, Just my dog myself and a plan. Woke up at 4 cooked some coffee and hit the road. Got to the hunting destination in plenty of time and started setting decoys. Put the mojo out first and turn her on, when 4 blue wings landed 5 feet from me. I literally said "you got to be kidding me." Well my confidence went through the roof. Finished throwing decoys (only 9 floaters and the mojo) and hit the brush. Had several large groups scream by over head, heading out to feed. Only small groups 1-4 ducks wanted to decoy and like teal fashion came in low and hot. I burned some gun powder and blew holes in the sky, but did manage to dump 1 teal hen. Seriously planned on going out and sitting for a few hours but the action was a lot better than I expected. My best friend had a great time.

I am looking in the forecast as I have a MT hunt in mid october, Calling for snow this wednesday up there. I am a little worried about the ducks. But if the ducks are out of town, i guess geese will be worked over. Good luck to all. Gave the dog a little work, busted 2 doves and she retrieved. she is ready for the season.

Great footage. Is that the way to do it for local geese. Spot and stalk action like antelope. I need my note pad out for early goose in missouri. I can learn a thing or two. Very cool

You guys are killing me. I just keep buying stuff of macs prairie wing in anticipation. Need to put the debit card away. 40 days and counting until Montana opener 18 hour drive and a week of fun.

Just wondering where all these fish were released. This opens another can of worms on illegal transporting and release to other bodies of water, Especially if conservation was involved????

After further reading, this guy only brought back 100 pounds. I am headed up there Saturday. I don't have to worry about catching a big boy like that, more chickens in the 20 pound range. Cant wait. Just like bringing a piece of plywood to the top.

Beautiful cinnamon in the first picture. Black bears indeed, pointed ears no humps.

That looks delicious. No ducks left for me in the freezer. Looking forward to this fall

Hooked 30 + bass all with heathy jaws and plenty of fight. Top water bite was on Saturday morning and yes black bass not whites were tearing the spook up.

Any place in Bolivar a guy could pick up some minnows?

Thanks for the report, and good to hear you had a great day with your family. What were you throwing?

Fantastic, Thanks

Thats a beauty! Just needs some fish slime on the deck.

Educate a guy on the differences in the pictures of these two groups of morrells if you will. The top picture depicts alot lighter mushroom than the bottom shown by zarraspook. Any difference in quality or taste? Thanks.
