2017 Waterfowl Reports

2017 is here! Post your reports, conditions etc, here. Let us know what's going on!

Team Benelli I think the migration will start Sunday make sure you go out Monday and get after them!!!!!

Just two. The other is a black duck. 

I drove around a BIG lake in east central part of the state on Saturday and was very surprised how few ducks I saw.  Worse still, most of what I did see were sawbills...  Probably try one more time over the weekend, but I'm not expecting much.

A Lot of hen mallards in that pic. 

I would appreciate any information about the geese around Horicon.

Please send me a msg or text at 715-498-5474.

I'm having surgery on Dec. 15th and would like to make one more goose hunting trip before going under the knife.

Thanks

After taking my first skunk of the year Sunday I was wondering. Little more scouting and Plenty of birds out there yet! Was down to a tshirt when I left.  Went today before work with a buddy. Not many geese seen today at all

Migration north or migration south?

Little off topic but can anyone tell me if the duck migration has started yet?  Im waiting to find out before I take to the field this year. 

Dodger, I'd wait a couple weeks and try it again, If geese are what you're lookin for. I'm watching 50 geese dump in to a county park, on top of a couple hundred pulling grass right now. We need weather. And more fresh birds. Just came back from the U.P. yesterday, still a $#!t ton of birds up there. Good luck. I'll start scouting again tonight.?

I have been to Goose Haven in Mayville twice this year. I have to say I believe Monica did her best to set me up in good blinds but the birds just didn't fly anywhere close to where I was. I sat both times in a blind with decoys around me in a picked cornfield. 

I would like to get a couple for a mount. Is it worth my time or should I just wait until next year for a chance around here in Central Wisconsin ?

Thanks

Had a really good hunt yesterday! Today I hit a creek again I guess you never know what to expect duck hunting! Both woodies were definitely fresh birds. I thought they were locals that stuck around late like they do in a couple of spots near me. Went to clean them and they were skin tight with zero fat.

Never fails, the second your packing up the blocks! Lol! Haven't seen a bird the last two hours!

Got out for a quick hunt in my favorite creek! It's a special spot! More birds using it than I thought. Ended up with 2 green heads. After hunting over the years I should know by now not to look back at my spot haha. Watching 4 dump right in where I was set up. Happy Thankagiving to all!
