Well, there isn't a big migration yet, but my son and I found a few birds on Saturday on the ND side...it was really windy up here and it was a blue sky day as well. Too bad the Pintails don't have their tails in this part of the country...that drake was beautiful otherwise! All the teal and Gadwalls and Widgeon were gone. They must be farther south by now.

Shot a greenhead and my first Minnesota snow goose this morning. I was very pleased and it made fighting that brutal wind worthwhile!

[Huntin&Fishin]

Lip'em if you don't mind me askin what part of the state did you shoot that snow. I saw a few out by morris area last weekend.

[Quackaddict9]

good to see a snow goose shot down. I saw around 200-300 snows/blues not far North of Bagley on friday evening.

WE HAD A FLOCK OF ABOUT 10 SNOWS START TO COMMIT AND THEN FLARE AFTER A HARD GUST OF WIND THERE WHERE ONLY ABOUT 100 YARDS OUT

THEY CAME FROM UP WIND AND THEN PASSED USED, TURNED BACK AND DROPPED (ALTITUDE).

THEY BROKE UP INTO THREE GROUPS THEN A 50 MPH OF WIND CAME AND BLEW THEM AWAY AND THEY NEVER GAME BACK !

Saturday A.M. Hunt in Nodak, limit by 10 A.M.

[Lip'em]

The snow goose was shot in the Glencoe area. Saw a few out there last year too.

Here is a few more from Nodak last week:

Giant Canada Geese, 13 and 13.5 lbs respectively!

When life hands you Gadwalls make Gad-wall-anade.

I try to arrange them in a "j" formation, but Im not very picky when hunting ponds

Ended up getting my limit this morning. First one of the year, finally. Ended up with 3 gadwalls, 1 mallard, 1 redhead and a hooded merganser. One of the heads came off and had to white out the blood. There still didn't seem to be many ducks around, about the same as it has been. I was just set up in the right place this time. I'll try and post this pic first time trying it.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, you did great fritz so congratulations, especially on a day that hit 70 in November, but Mergansers have a separate bag limit (5).

Nice mixed bag of birds.

I actually just realized that also, thanks. No biggie, I wasn't going to sit out there any longer or else I would have missed the vikes.

[Quackaddict9]

here are some of last weeks hunt.

Thursday morning

Four man limit- honks and mallards and a band

Friday morning

Saturday morning- Thief Lake, two birds I shot- Gadwall and Bluebill

Sunday morning- Two man limit, Honks and Mallards. Missed a couple other kinds of ducks.

[Roosterslayer05]

Quack- it looks like you got some greenhead gear canada floaters out there, my buddy has some and he has problems with water geting in them(they arnt shot), which makes them much heavier to haul. Have you had this same problem??

[Quackaddict9]

no problems at all, I've had GHG goose floaters for 3 years and no leaks or anything. Maybe your friend has some kind of leakage in the keel on the back part, maybe patch it up or find where the water is coming out of and then thats probably where its leaking.

[SledNeck]

Quack, do you get permission to hunt fields or do you own those? I know someone going to school in Bemidji and I'd like to go out there next year and try my hand, just dont have any idea where to start.

Here's some pics from a mallard shoot I had last thursday not too far from Quackaddict's neck of the woods. The 8 of us filled out on mallards within 45 minutes. Not to mention a bonus blackduck and a piece of jewelery on one of the mallys.

The Crew with the morning's bounty.

Pile O' Mallards.

Two pleasant suprises.
