Slowly picking up

[younggun308]

Still enjoying woodies in E TN—and if that's all we get I'll still be happy (there, now that I've said it, the big puddles will pour in from Kentucky out of jealous spite).

Have seen some high, wary groups of big ducks on occasion.

Middle tn showed "acceptable" numbers for the area today, grabbed a couple mallards. Didn't have a lot of time this evening but I had 5 or 6 groups come in my spot while I was setting up. Several after setting up. Saw a good number moving right at dark on the boat ride home. Good times! Get after em'

We picked up 3 blue bills in the last 2 days. total ducks for the year so far from our spot on Ky Lake is 4. Kinda frustrating.

I sounded like Armageddon last Saturday in Maury Co. off Hwy 50. I was deer huntin and was hoping they'd push'em my way....no such luck. But those boy/girls were get'in after it.

Fingers crossed.

Figures. The TAFKAP house has been locked down from COVID since 12/17, and not a drop of rain. My first day back out, and the bottom falls out. And of course it's going to stay raining the first day of a 3-day slot in Shelby Forest. Hopefully, the birds will be riding the back end of it for a nice New Year's Day

Praying it rains at least 3"! That might be the only thing that saves our season!

Funny how we all want something different. I hunt Reelfoot...hate the bottoms flooding...lol

Problem is, this system is funneling in warm temps from the gulf. After it pushes through, it'll be 60° here tomorrow

Oh I know we're in the bottoms and can pump but having issues holding the water we need to hunt. The backwater will set us up with new water and ducks!

I wish I could have 60 warm sunny days with a south wind in a fresh backwater every season.

Headed west again today. Ballard WMA has 35k ducks at last count, so that's an improvement of about 25k since I was last out there. Weird weather this weekend, maybe it'll push some across the big river for us in KY & TN?

 

[Cabo_51]

Killed a 8 man limit yesterday, west tn public land.

 

[TAFKAP]

Shelby Forest #6 was a bust today. Lots of woodies screaming past, and some mallards flying high. Sounds like Eagle Lake had all the ducks today

 

[younggun308]

Seeing a few more mallards with the usual woodies. But small groups only.

 

[TAFKAP]

We found a woodie hole and 6-man limited on them today. Fun shoot in Shelby Forest

 

[Don'tDrinkTinks]

We have no ducks in the Turrell, AR area. They are sticking to big water.

Guess I'm going on my first hunt of the year Saturday morning.
We will see I guess.
