Waterfowl Hunting
2017 Waterfowl Reports
Some of these posts are just hilarious. .. lots of birds around the manitowoc area with easy limits available daily if you put in the time and scouting...hope everyone has a great hunt this weekend. .the deer hunters tend to really drive the birds to certain spots every year..
Angry? Who's angry? No anger, just some good old-fashioned ribbing and sarcasm.
And for some,,? Who wish they had the mint flavored shoe polish?
Far as the migration then. Freeguideser, maybe they are on the way back north already? Because now the ducks and geese are around. Lol.
Freeguideser,.. WHHHAAAT!? Mr. Nigativity himself, will be hunting this late in the season? You know its 30 days past Oct 5. And you witnessed it, AIN'T NO BIRDS AROUND. And to top it off,,....... asking for help?? Dats sum crazy. All the bad reports you got and YOU knowing, gotta be better than 95% of the migration is over. You're just going to be wasting time.??
headin north tonight cant wait to get out in am most of the bigger lakes should be open and holding birds, we'll see, run it through the northern close then heading to a large lake that i know has several thousand ducks on it.
goodluck all! and be safe in these cold icey temps.
Huh? Still a good amount of mallards bouncing around. (SE WI). Couple different spots @ 20miles apart holding birds. Definitely spread wise, they work the h#ll out of it before floating in. Yup, can't wait for some fresh birds to move down. Public water hunt yesterday morn before work. 4-greens.
Busted @200 mallards and a handful of gwt off a spot this afternoon to set up. Mallards trickled back In perfect 3"s and 4's at a time. No teal returned? As picking up slowly and watching the sunset, @5 o' seen geese and mallards dumping in a field.
Scouted around the county today after work. Good numbers of geese. Seen few mallard and some divers. Good bet that only few locals remain. Zero to no migration around. Winter on the way and the season on its way out. Been a great season. Sure ill get on a few more goose hunts though.
Scouted se wi today pretty good. 4 lakes only found grebes and a few mallards. Big marsh just a few mallards in refuge. Only birds of numbers were geese in a park. Seen 8 mallards all afternoon total . Anyone have any ideas? Maybe i just suck at seeing. Would like to go somplace tomorrow and at least get 1 bird
