wallter Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 My original plans fell through and now I need a plan. I'm trying to decide if I should go North, South, or West (I live close to Forest Lake so I'm already east). The problem is that I like pulling the boat, putting in, and firing up the motor. I like hunting lakes. I'm not asking for any honey holes but would like to here about some areas where there are SOME birds flying. The sky's seem pretty empty. Willing to drive a couple hours at least. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Greenheads Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 2 hours is a tough one. Try the Mississipi backwaters. 3 hours is easy- Big Stone Cty. or Grant County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaininFeathers Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hunting McGregor area. Last weekend hardly any ducks around so hopefully some calendar birds moved in since there wasn’t much weather to push them over the week. Don't expect much sat morning but I am going to be on a good migratory lake sunday morning with a large diver spread for the big North wind we are supposed to have. Hopefully that will create a big push. Headin to ND wednesday night. My dad is going out Sunday so hopefully he will be able to put me on a spot thursday morning so I don't have to spend too much time scouting. Good luck this weekend fellas.

Dean Schellinger Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I have heard my buddy saying good things about the Mississippi Backwaters south of the cities. West was a bust for us last weekend, very few ducks around. I would say either north or south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
