Hit conesus today ice was 7 in . Shore ice was not good at ATV access had to go up the shore 40 yards from that spot to get on . I got off when the rain started. be careful if you head out after this rain. Not sure how bad it's going to get beat up . 1 flag ran 3 times and on his 3rd run swung and missed .

Yep couldn't believe any of the dates my buddy told me.
They should have took December 1st to the 8th them days and start the season 9 days earlier. So you can shoot more teal and wood ducks before they leave if you could only shoot 2 Mallards now.
I tell you what I hope my buddy is absolutely wrong, but he's got good Intel !!

Just caught wind of some season dates for the Western zone. I guess it's going to open up October 19th and run to November 9th. Late seasons going from November 29th to January 4th.
It's not going to be hard to shoot 2 mallards but most mallards move through the Western zone November 1st to November 30th is our biggest migration and now its closed what a bummer this state sucks . I look back at pics of past years and November is the best month when everyone is in the deer woods the mallards are all over. Thanksgiving no duck hunting ...... Wtf I'm pissed . They should ask people that go every day what dates are good for the areas. No ducks in November is so shocking to me.

Weather was mint 63 and sunny [emoji41] !!! Ice was thick , top inch and a half was soft. Ended with 24 total . 9 1/2 to 11 3/4.

I believe it is a fox pro. If u can't get them to come in play with the volume. Most people have it up to high most of the time.

Just like ducks , hunt the feed never hunt the roost . Owl decoy is old school I bet some people use it but no need. 40 plus decoys and a big feed good caller that is clear and crisp sound.... And don't move they are like turkeys.
