2021 Waterfowl

[Oklahomabassin]

I was invited to kill some geese off a wheat field with some relatively new friends. The geese had been landing in the field for 4 or 5 days so we beat the geese out there early one morning this week. Shoveled some wheat on the pit blind lid and put out about 140 decoys. We had pretty good luck. It was a fun morning. The rich feller (can't call him poor because he charges an arm and a leg) next field over must have had 15 if not more hunters set up in several A frame style blinds. They didn't have much luck. Heard em sky blast at one flock of mile high geese.

Another waterfowl hunt invite from a friend made because of my deer tracking dog.

I was a little surprised Jax face wasn’t blurred too. He is more photogenic than you though.

Yes, he is. Many people say he is beautiful and handsome. Many people are polite and don't comment on my looks. Lol.

Had a email waiting on me this morning when I got up from my hunting buddy asking if I wanted to go duck hunting tomorrow morning........I love that man like a brother but he can sure ask some silly questions sometimes.

Numbers up here are incredibly low right now. Scouted four counties yesterday, ponds/lake/river, some ice, some open water and saw less than 100 ducks/geese and that includes driving though the refuge at SP.

2 of us shot a pair of gadwall, 1 widgeon, 1 mallard drake this am. Those were the only birds we saw. To say it was slow would be a huge understatement. We should be covered with ducks right now.

No ducks in my ponds at all yesterday.

Only had 3-4 pairs of mallards in two of my ponds the day before.

Not exactly what you'd call a good morning of hunting but you can't win them all.

The sky was crystal clear this morning, there was a bright full moon and not even a slight breeze when we were heading to the blind well before daylight.......we watched the dark silhouettes of aprox. 25 - 30 ducks and 6 - 8 geese fly off the roughly 2 1/2 acre pond as we approached the blind.

From daybreak till around 9:30 we had absolutely zero ducks come in and then finally two GWT dropped in from out of nowhere.......I missed mine and my buddy got his.

We tucked our tails, pulled the decoys and headed home about 11:00.
