I think I'm allergic to the northeast. Wyoming next fall and we have points in SD for ducks. If we draw. I figure I got 10 to 15 years left. I'm gonna use all of em.

Good luck Justin. At least we have someone on the thread out there!

[justindfw]

Just had a small 9 point and another buck of unknown size at my corn. Now I need a shooter to show up

[justindfw]

Well that ends big buck season for me. May try and get another doe in the extended season if I can. After that its the wait for turkey season.

[zpayne85]

Well no buck for me, sat this evening and saw a couple doe but no shot.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what’s the etiquette for dove hunting on public land? Do you walk around in attempt to stir them up or camp out near a food source? I’ve always wondered but too worried I’ll pepper some poor deer hunter.

I parked in a walk-in area with no other vehicles. The area I was in had doves in other years (dry years). The broomweed was waist high, no doves.

Just notice the other hunters and be a good steward. Duck hunters don't care.

Both the W and A lakes have come up a few inches more since my last report on Dec 31st.


W lake stands at 2.49 feet low.


A lake stands at 1.10 feet low.

Was out at B7 for the last day of my first turkey season, which was terribly short due to a covid complication, and wanted to thank the duck hunters out there for helping me to get my first round of shock gobbling from a roost. No joy on the turkey hunt, but was awesome to finally get some sound off from them dino-birds.

So if you were one of those stout souls freezing it out on January 3rd before sun-up, thanks for the help! Hope y'all got a whole mess of ducks!

[jnd1959]

Gobbles are always good. I've heard them out there during deer season but not during the spring. I have seen hens during the spring. I wasn't out there harassing ducks on the 3rd but us duck hunters do what we can to help...as long as you don't get to the hole before us...
