One of the guys I hunt with said that their were so many bluebills down at Indian Head base yesterday that they turned the sky black when they flew. They are killing a ton of Mallards down there also! If you know anyone down there you can get on for one small fee of $30.00. Not worth it to me at this point.

Don't know about the bluebills but there have been a decent number of cans show up on the wicomico. It just doesnt look like real ducky weather for the last week.

Has anyone experienced a slight decline in the number of birds? We saw a good number of birds 2 weeks ago in 70 degree conditions. Hunted Friday and Saturday and didnt see many birds at all and under the weather conditions we had we should have done well. I did shoot a goose that was banded in 1995, prettty old bird.

Old bird for sure!! Haven't noticed much of a decline near me because there were no real numbers of ducks to begin with. Just not a great year for waterfowling, at least where I hunt.

Lawd-o-mercy, I've suddenly got birds!!!  Lotsa bluebills, few cans, goldeneyes, geese - it finally looks like duck season. Only one of the bunchs of good ducks decoyed today, and not right, but man it's great to see 'em in the river. Gonna be a good few days to finish the season. Best thing today? My girl Evy made a 150 yard retrieve on a goose that sailed out and died in the choppy water! |
