Well its that time of year again. Time to start running the miles up on the truck scouting birds! Gonna be a rough first week with a lot of fields in the process of coming down and the birds moving fields every day.
fuel time!

Almost all the beans are gone around here and corn is starting to come off as well, still going to be a rough first week. Scouting all day tomorrow though
I got one field holding birds right now. About 60 geese with about 15 mallards. Hope I find something better

Saw 50 or so mallards on a marsh this evening, and I know there are woodies cruising the creeks but nothing solid or set in stone yet!
I'd kill for that down here! You guys with birds and options can kiss it!! lmao
Yeah well I hope you southern boys don't have the pressure of crowded fields that I have to deal with. Not to mention the yuppies leasing everything up I hunted for the last 20 years.

I always pay attention to the fields around my travels to and from work...I get a little excited this time of year when the crops start coming down...I catch my self at home talking about it out loud and my wife always says "your weird"...I have a field I've been wanting to ask for permission on for 4 years now, just haven't made the effort to go and ask...they cut down the beans yesterday so the time is right for this weekend if I can get over there.
On another note I do like sitting here on ny dinner break at work watching 80 geese and 60 mallards pile into a bean field I can hunt!

You can thank Duck Dynasty for that one. Its been increasing over the years but the amount of TARDS I've seen this year without an ounce of knowledge or respect is unbelievable!

Glad some of ya'll are seeing ducks in dry fields . I don't think I've ever seen a decent number of ducks in a dry field this early , and I dunno if I've ever seen em in dry beans . I must suck or the birds where I've hunted act different . Until we get migrant mallards I don't expect to get to hunt ducks in fields .

I agree with you there. I've definitely noticed an influx of wing-wangs around the marshes this season....
You just let me know when you want to come up. I would love to trade some North to south hunts and extend my season if the Secretary allows it.
I'm not to worried about them. When its 5 degrees out and the birds show up they will be on their couch watching someone kill birds or grow beards.
