Title: Anyone else been doing a rain dance?
Post by: Vo2max on October 20, 2013, 09:34:21 PM: I'm dying over here on the wet side... Not so wet! Can't hunt my areas until we get about a one full week soaker. Anyone else suffering like I am?

Post by: jennyfell55 on October 20, 2013, 09:48:12 PM: Yup! Between the lack of rain and the ridiculous fog the last times I've gone out I'm itching for some ducks!

Post by: Mfowl on October 20, 2013, 09:58:38 PM: No! I work outside and the rain makes it extremely miserable! I am perfectly content to adjust my duck hunting if it means M-F are tolerable. Sorry to dissappoint but let the dry days roll on!

Got 5 on sat. in the fog.
Most were so close and fast we couldn't shoot.

I completely sympathize there! I work outside too. Maybe it can rain on the weekends :chuckle: That would raise the water level and keep M-F nice :tup: I just want some ducks where I'm at :chuckle:

Hoping for fog in the morning, that way I can sneak up on them more easily after dropping my daughter off for school. Hopefully those seven geese are back around the little islands.

While I sympathize with those who are outdoors working M-F, I need rain/water/wind... You know, duck hunting weather!

I with you whtelk... I'll get a few here before they head to OR. ;)

Post by: Patarero on October 21, 2013, 11:31:27 AM: yes please. Some of my spots could certainly use some rain.

Post by: JJD on October 21, 2013, 05:19:02 PM: It could rain over here for a month and not make an appreciable difference. What we need is cold up north and soon. Ya keep pokin at the same birds over and over and they get smart pretty quickly.

Post by: jeepster on October 23, 2013, 01:18:36 PM: I usually do a lot of driving around when I duck hunt unless I'm in a blind, but my jumpshooting holes are totally empty, there is water, I just haven't seen many ducks lately... Might have to get in the boat and go explore...
