How did everyone do this morning? My dad and I got to our spot 20 mins. before shooting time. We were able to get 2 BWT and 1 GWT. We should have gotten a lot more but they were flying from every direction and we couldn't see them in time. I've never heard so many gun shots as I did this morning. It was constant. I've also never seen so many vehicles. In one spot were there usually isn't any there was 8 to 10. All in all it was a lot of fun. Hope everyone else had a good time. Post up how you did!
was up to little clear,and got there about 3am with boats already on the lake,everybody was really desent on given room to each other,maby 8 bouts and good lord knows how many walkers,1 woodie drake and 2 BWT,and lost two other woodies 1 to the feilds and 1 that dog was in way so couldnt take shot,but even with weather it was a great day of relaxing.
Shot a limit of teal this morning, 4 blues and 2 greenies. Was done by 8, Lot of teal south of DSM. Lot of hunters and shooting for the first hour. The DNR was at every ramp I stopped at. Talked to a few other hunters and sounds like everybody did well. Mostly teal.
Rush lake was not the place to be this morning,skyblasters came out at shooting time and parked right in the middle of lake,NO Coot was safe from the way I could see it issed: ,and the Geese up that way will be very call wise by the time seson rolls around issed: ,1 bwt is all for this mornings shoot,to busy trying to duck and stay out of steelrain,there were a few desent ppl up there though,I do hope the rest of you folks had better days than the dog and I :thumbsup:
Almost forgot,there is water in Rush,and Briggs and push pole both worked good,few had mudd motors, but there is enuf water to make it huntable,would be nice if they put in a few more planks though and bring it up another 6in. to a foot and half,but alot of good cover though.Have a great day all,I hope this info helps out some one,have a good hunt all. :salude:
Well we had a great weekend on the Mississippi. Yesterday my Nephew, Brother-in-law, and myself shot 16, 6 Woodies the rest were Blue wing Teal. This morning the 3 of us shot 9. I shot my 2 Woodies, 1 Mallard, and 3 BWT. they shot 2 Woodies, a |BWT, and a LOT of shells. the bottom of my boat is covered w/20, & 12 ga. empties. I'll be hittin'er tomorrow mornin' by myself.
did very well i thought for what we did, park at the boat ramp, walk about 200 and 300 yards with decoys and shot a blue wing and a coot and miss 2 others. goose where everywhere.

Way to go on the cinnamon teal. Was it fully colored out? We went out again on sunday afternoon and got 3 bwt. Were headed out in a little bit to the marsh. We now know the spot that there all flying to. Hopefully it will be a good shoot.
On Rush north pond 2woodies,1bwt,and 2mallards off a dredge ditch,seen birds sitting in the mud at East twin but no way to get to them,with out being seen,about 20 geese hanging around there to with a big old swan.Definetly better than working today. :thumbsup:
sorry got rush on brain,was at Big Wall when I got woodies and teal.was starting to plan already for second seson and rush is on my mind :laughing: :thumbsup:
Nice job on the ducks horse. Well the plan for tonight failed. :thumbsdown: We ended up with a whole lot of nothing. Seems like when I think its gonna go good, its bad and when I think its gonna be bad, its good. I'm going to have to start thinking more negative before hunting. Anyways, we got a new plan for tomorrow. I know for certain were not going to see a thing. :getdown: :thumbsup: :yes:
Had a great early season - best I've ever had. Hunted Saturday, Monday, Wednesday and ended up with 9 teal (green & blue mixed), 3 mallards, 2 wigeon, 1 gadwall, and 1 pintail. My buddy shot a bunch of teal also, 1 mallard, 1 wigeon, 1 woodie, and 1 pintail. Can't wait until the 14th!
duckdog,just seen message ya left, :thumbsup: :salude: one of these days will have to do that,THANK YOU for the offer.hope you and yours doing well and thanks again :thumbsup:
My dad and I ended up this morning with a mallard, pintail, gwt, and a nice wood duck that is now in the freezer. Like usual, we should have had a couple more but sometimes when I pulled the trigger, it would just click. We had a couple of different pairs and groups of mallards that kept cupping up but they wouldn't commit.
