Title: Did this weekend go as well as the openner?
Post by: h2ofowlr on October 23, 2011, 03:47:31 PM: It sounded a lot quieter this weekend due to last. Must have been the low tides in the morning. How did everyone do?

Post by: Wtrfowlr62 on October 23, 2011, 06:17:46 PM: saturday: 3 hours.. Perfect wind, direction, little bit of rain cloudy 2 birds, not decoyed flew by.

Today: decoyed on mallard, and it landed 30 yards behind my spread :dunno:.

Very very slow weekend for me also, talked to a couple guys, one did just as bad as my, another guy did quit well. good weather but no ducks for me :dunno: :tdown:

Post by: wadu1 on October 23, 2011, 07:34:20 PM: My little club in Sequim this week end was better for me over the opener. I ended up with a hen and drake smiling mallards, an in-mature mallard drake, a speckle belly, two cacklers and a honker.

Post by: 270Shooter on October 24, 2011, 08:54:22 AM: Not quite as good, but nothing to complain about. Opening weekend: 2 guns to limits of mallards on saturday in about 45 mins. Sunday: 2 guns 2 limits in about an hour, mallards and 2 pintail (2 mallards were banded). Last weekend: 2 guns 2 limits of mallards and 1 pintail, stayed until noon to get them though. Yesterday: 2 guns 2 limits in about 50 minutes, a few mallards, a couple gaddies, and the rest wigeon.

Post by: 270Shooter on October 24, 2011, 11:21:14 AM: haha thanks guys but I really dont deserve any credit, I just tag along for the most part with my buddy, Im just a deoy packer/shooter :chuckle:. But it has been lights out these first two weekends, best We've ever seen it (knock on wood). And every duck we've killed has been over the decoys, except when I went in the afternoon on wednesday and got my limit jump shooting.

Post by: Snowgoose1 on October 24, 2011, 12:45:49 PM: Just a bunch of Snow Geese again. I think I will pass on ducks until the the northerns get in. Time to whack Snows at an unbelievable rate. My son sent me a picture of a banded Teal this morning he got. I'm not sure where he got it. He said to quit passing them up.

Depends on where the birds are, so yes and no.

Post by: Crispy on October 25, 2011, 12:08:52 PM: Saturday morning ended up with 6 birds by 10:00 or so, had a 7th that I couldn't retrieve. Counted it towards my limit and packed up. Great day. 4 Mallards (one not retrieved :bash:), 2 pins, and a GWT.
