2019 Waterfowl Reports

Another year, and time to Post your Reports and stories for another great year of Hunting!

Anyone hunting in Green Bay wi, lately? Haven’t gone in a couple weeks  just wanted to see how people are doing and where the hunting is decent without too much ice. Lmk!! 

One more pic of that birds belly.

Still grinding it out. Been seeing alot of mallards but getting them to work has been rough. Hunted the river behind my house was able to get some to work me but only 3 gave it all up and came in feet down. 1 greenhead, 1 hen mallard, and one hybrid that made my season. Happy Thanksgiving back at the grind in the morning in a different spot on a different river to see what happens. 

Congrats on that band walleye! Beautiful redhead. We’re gaining more and more ducks and geese here daily. Wish everyone a happy thanksgiving and best of luck hunting. Be safe.

As of 4:45a.m.- Wave after wave of Honkers migrating South. This went on, non-stop for 45 minutes. My Duck Hunting partner seen tons of geese staged yesterday but only one duck. After hunting prime areas last Thursday, Friday, Sat. and Sunday, did not see more than 2 dozen ducks. With the weather system that's moving in I would expect any birds left around are gonna be heading out fast. Have a GREAT Thanksgiving and shoot straight!   

Speaking of bands, shot my first banded bird a couple weeks ago on a trip back home from college. Beautiful redhead out of New York banded just this spring! Truly unbelievable and very lucky. Also shot my first ole squaw the next day. Just a juvi drake but been a dream of mine since I started hunting. Good luck to all!

Congrats again Bullman, any jewelry is cool! I shot a banded honker this year that happened to be from way up in Hudson Bay. Crazy to think what that birds been through. CARPIO send em down! Hah! Will be out in the mornin, good luck everyone.

Hunter 05   2 nites ago there were a bazillion waterfowl near my pier!   Feel free to bang away, enough fertilizer on my lawn and piers!  CARPIO

Had a nice shoot Yesterday in SE Wisconsin. Broke some ice to get out on the water. Beautiful day. Even got some jewelry on a banded hen. Should have had a few more, but ended up leaving them for next year! Nice way to end the season.

Cool pics SM! Definitely a different angle for waterfowling. 

You either love or hate late season duck hunting.  There is something "rewarding" about breaking through ridiculous ice.....then riding the swells like a cork.  Portions of the decoy strings disappear and then reappear in the wave troughs and crests.  Birds approaching "on the deck" play "now you see me, now you don't" until they are right in your face.

Walleyez,

The ducks are on their way.....

Your last weeks birds WERE the Wisconsin birds. lol
