Lone Drake Waterfowl Outfitters - Hunting Reports

We had another excellent weekend. Winds were mostly out of the South and a lot of birds moved through the state. We had our best day so far in South Dakota this year as we killed 90 birds in one spread on Saturday. They are forecasting some snow but it looks like it's going to be rather light. It may move some birds back from North Dakota. But, at the least, it should keep the birds we have around. We still have a couple openings for the first weekend in April.

It's been an excellent first week in South Dakota. The weather has been great. A lot of birds have moved into the area and some have even moved through South Dakota. But huge numbers of geese still remain. I've noticed more juvies in the last couple days which always makes for better hunting. So far we've been killing between 19 and 38 birds per day. To top off a great hunt, the last bird we shot on Wednesday evening was a banded Ross Goose. It looks like the hunting should only improve.

It's been a very hectic but good week. We finished up in Arkansas very strong. Our last three hunts killed a combined total of 191 geese including a double banded $50 reward Ross goose. Then I packed everything up and made the 13 hour drive home without any incidents. I checked everything over and headed out to South Dakota two days later. The cold spell out here moved most of the geese back South. But, the warm weather today allowed the birds to return and we had a really good hunt Saturday evening on our 2nd Annual MinnesotaWaterfowler.com hunt. Some of the guys will probably have pictures posted on the website on Monday. They're a great group of guys and they run a great website.
