  1. Hitting the San Joaquin River in the afternoon tomorrow so we'll see how it goes...
  2. This is not even cool mudhen.... My club backs up to the southern close zone of Kesterson NWR and the birds are just starting to show up. Two years ago around this time that close zone was stacked full with birds, 80% of them were just snows. So if you get bored playin with those live ducks and geese up there, feel free to send them down my way
  3. Yeah I hear ya, I didn't fire my first shot until almost 9am this morning! I think our problem here is that there is way too much excess water around, the rivers are flooding in many areas and its allowed the birds to spread out into fields that are normally dry during this time of the year. I'm hitting the river again on Tuesday, so we'll see if my little sweet spot that I found produces some Mallards...
  4. Hey Scotty I think your Redheads made a trip over to see me this morning
  5. I shoot with a Patternmaster choke tube in my Remington 870 Supermag and I love the thing. I hunt with this gun and Winchester HV 3 1/2 inch #2's when I know im going to be getting into some geese because it throws a tight, concentrated pattern that hits birds hard! The Honker's and Specks that I have killed so far this season have had pellets hit from their bill down to their a**. This is why I shoot with a Patternmaster
  6. Hey if you ever get a chance to come out to Cali during duck season hit me up because i'll get you into some Widgeon
  7. I don't know about mudhen but for me this past month has been a slow grind. The water levels here are extremely high and its caused the birds to spread out which makes it a tough one. I've been able to scape a few birds here and there though. After watching birds work this past weekend I am going to throw a small spread of 4 to 5 hens to every 1 drake because I noticed large groups of drakes flying together looking for hens... Dont worry though I made sure to pass on the spoonies for ya As for the pics, I suggest you find a nice comfortable chair and enjoy this slide show that mudhen and I are puttin on for you
  8. I actually pulled these birds off of the club in Gustine But thanks
  9. Not a bad day on the river (1 other Honker and a mallard drake are not pictured) sorry Tucker
  10. Nice birds mudhen, I noticed the rice was holding alot of birds this past weekend.
  11. My buddy went out dirt bike riding by the river yesterday afternoon and he called me saying he was having multiple groups of 100+ Honkers along with some mallards fly right over the top of him that were landing into this small pond right off of the main river channel... So guess where im going to be tomorrow afternoon:D
  12. Oh nicce, now thats what I want to see! Those are some good look'n birds Tucker.
  13. Well what ever you guys did it looks like it paid off big time
  14. Nice birds Tucker! Is it flooded timber that you guys are hunting in?
  15. Good luck out there man, let me know how you do.
  16. California's full of these kind of people My buddy was hunting at a public refuge one time and as he was checking in his birds at the warden station a man rolled up and told the warden that it was one of his best days out hunting and as he said this he pulled out 4 swans out of the back of his truck and said "I killed 4 snows today!" This kind of thing happens all the time over here
  17. I drove 2 1/2 hours up north this morning to hunt the famous Colusa rice fields and there were NO ducks around what so ever! I sat out there until noon and I had one duck come in all morning that I would normally pass up for Scotty (so he can get some shooting down there in Texas) but I had to pull that trigger on a spoonie.... Very disappointing morning.
  18. Get the **** off of this site!
  19. I think God himself designed that recipe! Thanks man, it looks like we'll both be eatin good tomorrow:D Hey have you ever tried throwing a good marinade on those birds before you cook them or do you just let the jalapenos, bacon and the cheese do the work?
  20. Hey Scotty, how about you hook me up with that duck recipe that you've got going on in those pictures... Every time I open this thread I feel like firing up the BBQ
  21. Nice birds. Where are you hunting at if you guys are just starting your preseason opener?
