Lone Drake Waterfowl Outfitters - Hunting Reports

It was a good news - bad news kind of day. We had high winds but no birds to speak of. All the birds that were in the area were a no show in the morning. The only two flocks that came in did it right and we called the shot at about 10 yards. We called it quits at about 11 o'clock with only 6 birds in the bag. A lot better than a skunk I guess. It's looking to warm up the next few days so we're looking to have a few more banner shoots before I head back to Minnesota.

The weatherman was finally right! At least partially. The winds were from the South and it did warm up to the mid-50’s. There were some new birds moving through the area. Small flocks throughout the day were seen flying high and to the North. We were able to pull some of them down and ended the day with an even 30 birds. Definitely an increase in the number of birds around compared to the previous few days. Hopefully the warming trend continues.

If it hadn't been for almost absolute zero wind, we may have been able to decoy in a few more. We hunted until 11:00 and were able to bag 14 over the decoys and we pass shot six more. NE winds and no bird migration noted. Winds are predicted to be from the South on Monday and temperatures in the 60’s so we expect a fair number of birds to move in and through the area.

The morning started out pretty decent. A good number of birds were using the field we were hunting and we were able to lure 23 of them to their demise. The afternoon’s flight was a bust. Two, maybe three, flocks of Snows were seen from 1 pm to dark. Not much of an evening flight. It was a little bit warmer, which was nice.

More of the same. It rained all night with a light North wind and low clouds most of the day. It was very chilly. We saw a fair amount of birds flying over the field we were hunting. Most would give us one look and never break down below the 70 yard mark. Not sure what the problem was, but it just seemed like the geese were highly educated. We called it quits a little early and ended the day with 13 birds. They are forecasting another cold front so I’m predicting that when the weather breaks, the geese are going to head North with a vengeance. We praying for southerly winds.
