Tippman Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Looks like a good couple days to be out in the duck blind. Nice cold front coming through with strong northwest winds and chance of snow. This should definately bring some birds down. I'm jealous for all of you who get to take advantage of it, I work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyepatrol Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'll definitely be out there tomorrow morning. Although, by the sounds of it, I'm going to need to tighten the cap another notch or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SledNeck Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Yep looking like 30 mph winds a couple inches of snow and high of 34F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icehousebob Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 One of my duck boats, my 870 Supermag,a bunch of my decoys, some of my camo clothes, and a couple of boxes of shells went out of town with my #3 son yesterday. Meanwhile, I'm working 12 hour night shifts. My equipment is having more fun than I am this year. But with the NW winds bringing down the geese, I'm going to take a bunch of vacation time and see what I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brdhunter Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Yea looks like a good day if your looking to go swimming. For one, these winds are dangerous (tip your boat dangerous), second the first cold front of the year usually backfires (the temps are goin to be in the 50s to 60 by mid-week). Good luck to all of you that brave the weather, but I'll be sleepin in waitin for the REAL cold snap!Be safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to all of you that brave the weather, but I'll be sleepin in waitin for the REAL cold snap!Be safe! Real cold snaps send birds right through MN in a matter of days. I personally like hearing a warmer forecast now, get some new birds in the area and keep them here a while. By the way, depending on your location you missed a good morning of hunting.

tearin' lips Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 The cold front definately pushed birds down. Wave after wave of mallards/geese were coming into the dekes on sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Lubeley Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 During the week since i don't have Many options of places to hunt in the cities i tend to spend most of my school evenings out in the rice lake area and tonight was the first night i have seen divers in the area and there was definatly i lot more flocks of mallards and geese around so I'd say the front definatly pushed some ducks down hopefully there is still a lot more to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
