Hey Everyone! Thanks for the replies. We hunted Shilapoo and Vancouver Lake last Wednesday; a goose day it turned out. Shot going off everywhere.....skybusting for geese. Saw 3 ducks all day. Talked to a guy at Sportsman's yesterday and he said the same thing. Lot's of cars parked everywhere and no ducks. He said he saw 1.5 ducks. But I did see three guys walking out with a small goose!
Yesterday we went up to Cathlamet on a friends boat. Foggy and calm and gorgeous. Never saw another hunter, but heard shots. Saw soo many ducks but mostly divers; Scaup (blue bills?) Surf scoters, and buffleheads. Shot lots of ducks and had a great time! It makes me very uninterested in Vancouver lake and shilapoo. Saw a few mallards. Missed.
Anyone like diverduck?
