I am in the mid valley in Oregon and the birds are just starting to show up. I saw a report that there are 575,000 ducks in puget sound Washington. We are having a big storm blowing right now so things will get better.

In Coos Bay Oregon (southern coast) they are just starting to appear. Saw a flock of around 500 mallards land in the bay last weekend. They are finally startin to show.

Hey Guys,
Shot San Jacinto last Weds, had B3 on the big pond. Me and my buddy Mark had busted 5 birds within the first 30 minutes, and had 2 limits and off the pond by 10:30. BUT! We were in the spot where they wanted to be AND we were the only blind with NO spinners and only 9 dekes! Less is more sometimes! The wind kicked up, which brought in flocks of bulls, widgeon groups, and some gaddies in singles/pairs.

Then hunted Kern Saturday with two friends. Missed a few birds, but I'll tell you, for mid-December there were very few birds and very little shooting! I was disappointed but hey, that's why it's huntin' and not killin', right?

Birds are out there, just be ready to think out of the box. Maybe it's just a pair of mallards, 5 bulls, and a couple teal dekes...and make sure you've got some movement in your spread. Maybe it's just a couple teal and a pair of mallards. And, <gasp>, no calling! Mix it up and be ready to be mobile. If you're not where the ducks want to be, go to them. Maybe ditch the dekes and break a sweat moving some tule patches out of your way~you'll be surprised what's hiding inside that thick stand of impassable green!

Shoot straight and kill 'em with one shot!
