Has anyone been out looking to see if the numbers are coming down yet. Heck the dove are just getting down to me. We are seeing a few ducks on the ponds around the deer lease and saw a couple of small groups on Blue river.
I'm envious of this, I've always wanted to see what the hunting is like up that way on the Plains. Curious to see how many birds are there with all that weather up in the Dakotas.shoveler_shooter said:Weather has been ridiculously warm, but it'll be cooling down a little bit this week. Still average-slightly above. I will be in northern KS in less than 2 weeks for their opener, should get a taste of what we will see.
That's funny, I saw one the other day....next to the parking lot at Golds gym. Had the 870 in the trunk but figured I may be seen lolDuck Whisperer said:My rail spot had a few 100 teal on it (there were practically zero ducks there the last week of teal season). Also saws a group of 12 Pintails, several spoonie, and a few greys. Local woodies still there also. Saw a fair number of big ducks, but simply didn't pay them much attention as I was in "Rail mode". Hunting buddy, also in Tulsa, said he heard a wad of snows a day or two ago also.
Saw a neck collared Canada at an undisclosed location (park). Couldn't convince my buddy to take a Foiles go at them though :no:
In all my years, that was the first neck collar I have ever seen. Go figure it was in the middle of Tulsa.

On private property???????????? Depredation, nusiance, "I feared for my life - make my day law"?. Joking, as I don't think you could have legally killed them under any of those circumstances (dern them federal laws). Oh well, most likely just resident banded geese; no grand trophy (if they were sequential bands......OKhunter said:My dad went out to my grandparents Sunday afternoon and there were 4 banded geese in the driveway.
