jdmidwest Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 10 hours ago, Gavin said: Its looking good! I haven't been out to look, just pressure washing a few dozen. Do they flare on that pink one? I used to toss an odd one out and get some in. White gull decoy, heron decoy, coots, and of course the lone goose. Just something to break things up. That pink blow up thing may be better than a motion wing. Just be careful your hunting buddies do not try and shoot at low fliers.... nomolites 1 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.

Gavin Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 The pink one has been known to fly across levies if you are killing ducks and we are not. Fair warning.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Miloshewski Posted October 10 Author Share Posted October 10 I wasn't going to, but with a 35 degree temp drop I took off work and am headed to Iowa Monday/Tuesday. After I shoot a doe or two this weekend in Missouri I am loading up and headed that way. Anybody is welcome to join me.

Ryan Miloshewski Posted October 16 Author Share Posted October 16 Well Iowa was decent, but not great, even with the cold front. Shot BWT, pintail and a gadwall. LOTS of pintails. Saw multiple groups of 15-20 both days. Teal seemed to have booked it with the front Monday evening. Saw only one group of mallards both days. They worked, but I was waiting for a feet down shot and they never did. It was nice to have temps in the 30s in the mornings and no mosquitoes. I bet this morning was good. I will likely go up there once more in November. Felt good to get some big ducks down. I plucked them and will be making the Cajun gravy I did with the teal with them.

Ryan Miloshewski Posted Tuesday at 06:42 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 06:42 PM I was busy deer hunting, but a few buddies hunted the Kansas opener and have been the last two days. Teal (GWT and BWT), teal, and more teal. And a few pintails. Hot, low water, and not much of a migration yet over on the West side is not great. I haven't gone yet with the weather/duck numbers, but I am on a 6 day vacation starting tomorrow. Will be deer hunting and duck hunting every day--and cooking. Excited for the cold front tomorrow night. Tons of wood ducks on the big lake where I deer hunt in Gasconade County. I do believe I am going to go after them on Saturday morning. Last year a big wad of mallards, gadwall and wigeon found the lake right before the opener but didn't stay. Maybe this year it'll line up right! Either way, I am excited for the next week or so! I'll be interested to see how Saturday goes for North/Mid opener.. snagged in outlet 3, nomolites, BilletHead and 1 other 4 “To those devoid of imagination a blank place on the map is a useless waste; to others, the most valuable part.”--Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted Tuesday at 08:11 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:11 PM Got out and pitched the decoys last weekend, but the east side counts from last week were 45% below LTA. I'm hoping this weeks rain moves a few into the Mississippi R. Valley. snagged in outlet 3 and Ryan Miloshewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
