Went out last Sunday and on Thanksgiving around Granger.  I saw more buffleheads and goldeneyes than mallards.  We got 10 ducks total, only 3 were mallards, and all of those were locals.  I saw 3 flocks of about 100 mallards flying really high overhead.  I think Thanksgiving week was the very tip of the migration.  The majority of the migration will probably begin arriving in the 2nd or 3rd week of December.

I heard the goose migration is in full swing though, so if you know a good goose spot I would hit that this weekend before it's too late.

Hunted Goose in Finley on Saturday....Didn't see a single flight of geese. Only heard about 4 volleys of shots out on the river. Pretty weak.

Hunted Pheasant Friday, hit a Prescott FFTH, one near Starbuck and one in Pomeroy....flushed 4 hens. Pretty disapointing weekend, good to be out no less.....

its been all local birds for me...I have seen some big flights of geese though...once the lakes and ponds up north start freezing up we'll all be a little better off...It just hasnt been that cold yet and the birds are still finding food and water where they are...what we need is some cold cold weather and maybe some more snow in Canada... :twocents:

I went out last weekend on the eastside and we got 3 mallards and 4 canadians on the columbia.  It was pretty slow.  I just spoke with my father in law that lives over there and he is starting to see a lot more high flyers coming in this week.  Cross your fingers, maybe they are coming this way.

I just spoke with my father in law and he limited yesterday on geese by 10:00am and he is already back at the house with another limit.  I got wrapped into working and was unable to get over to the eastside.
