Post up what you see as we get this cold air in over the next week to 10 days.....I need something to carry me through the split
Man .... I'm hoping it gets 'em moving. FAR. Because I haven't had much in the way of deer this year.
Buddy of mine did well on both divers and puddle ducks over Thanksgiving. He lives near Orlando...in Florida.
Birds have been down for months. I saw raft after raft of divers this past weekend. Go find them. I don’t even duck hunt. They’ve been down for months though.
Hi Justin, Not trying to cyber scout just trying to understand waterfowl patterns. I live in Hyde county, between Fairfield and Englehard. I fish in Wysocking, Juniper and SwanQuarter Bays frequently. I have good friends who quide on the sound. They have excellent reputations. We have not been seeing the kinds of goups you have described.
Therefore would you mind telling me what kind of ducks you are seeing as well as the county (do not want spots.) We cannot hunt in Dare Currituck, Pamlico or Carteret. Just wondering what the ducks are doing since we are not seeing what we usually see.
If you do not hunt, hope you are having a good fishing season. It has been our best for flounder and trout in several years.
You and Froggy having lunch dates at the Big Trout now?I have good friends who quide on the sound. They have excellent reputations.
They've been shooting redheads, buffleheads, blackheads and the other typical species that winter in Florida, since their season opened. Most of the ducks they get are calendar migrators. Some may stop here but they don't stay long.Hi, Have you hunted there this year. I have a friend who is going down next week.. Since we don't have a ton of birds here, do you think the Florida birds come from the Mississippi flyway or are they blue wings and ringnecks?

Both. A lot migrate when the days start getting shorter, just like bluewings but there are a lot that don't come south until they run out of food/water.I am curious as to who you think is right, Are the blue bills in Florida or are they still up on the great lakes.
Huge new knots of puddle ducks started showing up at Skeet this past Tuesday. lot of birds there now. more on the west (NW &SW) than anywhere else I saw. These are probably the groups that are here to stay.
