Bluebills

Heading to our trailer on the 6th. Anybody seeing any concentrations of bills in the Morson area?

Don't have a report for Morson, but we were hunting from the Angle up to Big Narrows and didn't see much for Bluebills. Mostly goldeneyes and ringbills with some mallards and teal thrown in.

We've seen a few bluebills around. I'm heading up tonight for four days of hunting and will report back. I'm hoping the redheads and gadwal and ringies are still around, too...

Leaving on Friday. Where do you stay? We have a trailer at Mylie's. Hunt mostly to the east towards Hay Island.

Just got back early. Couldn't hunt this morning because of gale force winds. Unbelievable -- sustained at 40 mph and gusts to near 50. I've never heard the marine radio guy mention 70 kilo winds before!

What a difference. Saturday we shot bluebills on a sand beach in 80 degree sunshine. By Sunday morning it was 44 degrees with a 25 windchill!!!

Shot a limit Thursday, mixed bag. Blue it by going to the wrong spot Friday so only got a couple while another group 400 yards away got four limits of mallards. Saturday we shot 17, mostly b-bills. Still lots of redheads and gadwall around, too. Not a ton of b-bills yet, but then there aren't that many left any more. So we were pleasantly surprised by what we saw and shot.

I would assume this wind is going to shake things up a bit and with the big cold front coming and snow. I look for a lot of ducks to change places. The ducks we have now may move but should be new ones coming fast.

Three great hunts down, one more LONG hunt to go but have to wait 10 agonizing days to get back to the lake! Back up on the 18th for 10 days!!!.... hope it ain't ice by then!

P.S. dmoore, we have a cabin in Morson and hunt everywhere within an hour's boatride!!! Mostly very close, sometimes so close I wake our neighbors up. We do some hunting to the east up by you if the bbills are rafted that way. Shot a few last year not far from threepine.

See ya.
