9 hunts, 70 ducks including 25 BWT- last year 52 YTD 14 hunts. Had pair mallards and 4 birds last 2 hunts- which was off pace of limits for 7-9 hunts YTD personally.
Also harvested 5 water turkeys with neusance control license. May hunt them exclusively this weekend. Believe snipe is open as well. Will have to look into that. How the heck do I get one? I've seen a ton this year(private land). Look up neusance control permit. 13 bucks. Double crested cormorant license. U have to keep log each hunt. Bury or burn your harvest. Like shooting geese. Awesome. They will often keep coming in while your shooting lead bird. Crazy. Saved many slow hunts over years. Get after it. 1 license per body of water. Must be private. You can designate as many licensees under your permit as well. If u have 5 buddies hunting- just list them in log and you are good! Dang that is awesome. Thanks for the info.

My first split summary log, excluding early teal season. I didn't shoot that spoonie fyi. My buddy did, at least he shot a drake, normally he shoots spoonie/ringer hens. My best 2 solo hunts.. 7 hunts, plus 6 separate scouting trips, 13 days on the water, covering 8 different lakes. Really have not seen a lot of birds other than preseason scouting, the good shoots I have had I think there was a little luck involved, the mallards decoyed beautifully, shot 4 mallard doubles in the 2 hunts shown above.

I 'll bite. On my hunts 184 ducks have been harvested the first split not including youth or teal. Numbers are down from last year and a lot less ducks around but still enough to find, just my observation. I do not keep a detailed report like Guy but will say we shot more green than expected, no divers or trash ducks, more wood ducks than past years, and less teal than usual for this time of year. Been interesting and different then the last couple of years, good thing gas is cheap.

If you find your public duck hole has been shotout, it's most likely Mo and his gang.

Not much of gang either, most of the time it's just me and one other unless I take a kid or senior citizen. I did have a couple of 4 man hunts the first split though.

There goes my internet cred. Turns out a new job, house, and baby does change a few things.
