Anyone hear any thing about northern movement?????
« on: November 19, 2008, 04:50:51 PM »
Please post any rumors about movement from the north.
I checked a couple of other sites and there was "talk" of possible movement but nothing in hard core evidence.

I've heard some of the same reports as well. I know that some of the mallards that we shot on sunday up north of mt vernon looked to be northern birds. Lots of extra fat on them, real bright, nice looking birds. They tasted amazing as well  :drool:

I talked to the local Waterfowl Biologist a couple days ago and he said the migration on my area just started Nov. 17th   I saw a huge increase in birds (mostly mallards/GWT) on Saturday and now of multiple limmits killed.

They're Here!!!! :IBCOOL:

Hit up an area north of moses lake on saturday.  Pretty dead.  Light ice on small ponds.  Got 2 mallards and only seen about 50 total.  Did see a few geese and a few hen pheasant.

dead here today, small ponds are iced up, but no birds on big water...

Starting to get a little ticked, saw a lot of geese last week but only a few today.

Frustrated to say the least.
That's why it's called hunting and not killing.

i was over in that area for thank giving and say les then 5 birds the entire 5 days i was there, not worth it on the east side of the state yet, most of the birds are in the salt on the west side from what ive seen, but they are all locals i think
