Waterfowl Hunting
2019 Waterfowl Reports
Dodge Cty - Two more evening hunts. Lots of Mallards still around. Shoulda coulda limited on Saturday even with passing on 3 different hens in the decoys. Sunday was tougher, fewer birds flying in the sleet but 2 of us still managed a few mallards, a buffie, and even a BWT. May be the season for me, never much interested in mixing it up with the deer hunters.
Duck hunting is so much fun. No, I do not hit every bird. Still working on the visual range of how away too far is.
Duck hunting the backwaters of the Wisconsin River, Adams County, is where I go.
When I came home, I found an eagle doing a little duck hunting of his own over the stream in our backyard.
Lots of mallards coming south today. Hunting in the snow is a blast.
With it being a grind this year for me. I decided to change thing up Sunday morning and hunt a river that I haven't hunted since 2004. It payed off I was able to get 2 mallards and a wood duck. Passed on some shots thinking they would make one circle but didn't lol. Had 3 blue bills decoy I gave them a free pass because I had alot of mallards working the river. It was a great hunt brought back so many memories since that's where my duck hunting obsession started. Wish I would have hit the x but without hunting so long it was the first time i got to see the changes in that section of the river and the only way to scout is by boat. Hopefully I can get the right wind a couple more times this season to give it another there.
Decided to give it one last shot at Theresa on the land I hunt. Not a thing in the sky until about 7:45 when every goose left in the area decided to drop on the field I was next to.
wound up dropping 2 "Sky Carp", should have gotten 3......
No ducks at all and the geese were limited.
Freeguide, Week of the 2nd opener in the Miss backwaters we had greens and blues all over us. Week following, not much teal at all.
Couple pics from today. No hunting. Just observing. Full lot of trailers at the local launch. Launch ice free getting out. Parts of lake Onalaska starting to closeup. Skim ice out from schaefers. Blackdeer skim ice. Ice fishing not far off
Question for all. has anyone seen any green wing teal this year? I have been out in all parts of the state and haven't seen or shot much for teal but BWT in the early special hunt. I have yet to see or shoot gwt ... ??? few years back there were thousands of them in some spots I hunt.. this year so far 0
