My Dad and I have 18. He has been hunting 44 years and I have been hunting 22years. I do have one greenhead that was over 10 years old when shot.

I have been shooting a Pattern Master with 3" Kent 1 3/8 BB's for 3 years and this is a deadly combination with long range killing consistancy. Would not change for anything.

Nice Pencil Bills!!!

Best advise I can give you on calling. Set out a nice spread of decoys, give your best group of calls and watch the ducks respond to your calls. It's like Jimmy Riddell used to say when they came by to blow his calls, "Ducks make all kinds of sounds". "Set up in a feeding or resting area and you ...

The best time to hunt the river is when the wind gets up to about 25 or 30 MPH out of the South and hits that current coming in a torrent due south. The breakers will swamp most boats smaller than a small barge. I have seen 15' swells with breakers on top resulting from the above situation plus two ...

Back in the late 60's and early 70's all of the land on the east side of 61 over to the Delta National Forrest was in soybeans. The Greentree reservoirs just off the Sunflower River in the Delta National Forrest were some of the finest pin oak hunting in the South. They even set up road blocks to ...

Along the river below Greenville, Bouys are placed at the the end of a rock dike to mark the channel. Some of the older dikes are not marked however.

Hunting with a longtime friend and his son Friday. We set up on a grass pocket in the middle of the Miss. River, First Greenhead that came in , his Son made a good shot. I told him to go pick up that banded greenhead. He brought it back and it was. Big Duck, over 4 years old, banded in Saskatchewan ...

Don't know about that one, but my son killed one when he was 13 that was over 10 years old. It was banded near Red Bud, Il. on 1/15/81 and he made a great shot on it leaving out the north end of our spread on 12/31/90. It hatched in 1980 or earlier. I had the greenhead mounted for him and the ...

Shot a Greenhead on opening day of the Ark. season one year near Lake Whittington. It was during a driving snowstorm. We had 7 sticking snow storms that year here in Ms. (1977) It was banded 14 days before I shot it near Central Butte, Saskatchewan. That front was really moving them down the River ...

Pattern Master here.

I see posts on duck numbers posted for Ark, La, & Mo. Does Ms. Post or have a survey ?

Just came by Gib Steele's rice field at the tower between Arcola and Wayside, the water level is up from a couple of days ago. He is holding about 300 mallards and about 4000 snows and blues. Looks like the water level is up in the catfish ponds between Hollandale and Belzoni. A lot are emptying the ...
