Month: February 2025

Feb 15 & 16, 2025

  February 15: Only one group hunted for a couple of hours due to a big rainstorm that dropped over 3 inches of rain. We’re thankful we moved our spreads earlier in the season to avoid the mud—it would have been like a lake now. The group consisted of a father and his young son … [Read More]

Today’s hunting was quite similar to yesterday’s. When the sun was out, the birds worked well. However, it was tough to get them to decoy when it was cloudy. We saw migrators from both directions—a few from the south but more from the north heading south. Our high field shot 13, while the low field … [Read More]

Today, there was a strong north wind. The high field shot 35 and the low field shot 0. Once the sun came out, the snows had a totally different outlook on the decoy spread, at least in my field. They wanted to work! We saw a few birds from the south, but most of them … [Read More]

Same weather, similar results. Today was almost a carbon copy of yesterday. The high was 14, and the low was 0. It was a dark, overcast day with rain. Some fields saw more rain than others. My guys opted to sit in the trailer for a couple of hours, letting the rain pass. Then we … [Read More]

Rough day. It rained, and a couple of fields poured. It’s also pretty cold for AR standards. There are birds, a lot of them near a few of our fields, but we need a change in the weather to get them moving north again. They are leaving the roost, going to a field, and sitting. … [Read More]

Today, we experienced a northeast wind. While we’ve had plenty of wind this year, there hasn’t been much sunshine. Tomorrow, we’re expecting more rain. The highest number of birds taken in our fields today was 44, but all but one field recorded double digits. That one field only had 2 birds, and they reported seeing … [Read More]

Overcast day with a northeast wind. Earlier in the week, those conditions didn’t treat us very well. Today was a bit better. High field shot 26. There was one hunter and two guides, including me. Let’s just say our shooting was off. We should have had 10 more birds with better shooting. Low field shot … [Read More]

Today’s weather conditions were similar to the last two days, but the wind shifted from the north to the south, causing the birds to move. We had solid hunting results, with the low field shooting 14 geese and the high field ending the day with 46. We plan to move some decoys around this weekend … [Read More]

Today, hunting went slightly better than yesterday. The high field managed to shoot 22 geese, while the low field, which was mine, only managed to shoot 4. We saw more birds today, but they didn’t show much interest in coming in, and overall, there were only slightly more birds than yesterday. There’s just not much … [Read More]

Feb 4, 2025

It’s a slow day today. Overcast, drizzling, and cold northeast wind. Unless you were by a feed, you saw very few birds. Those that were by a feed just watched them sit all day. Most fields saw less than 100 birds, including in my field, which was the high for the day with 22. The … [Read More]

Today went down differently than I thought I would have. South wind and 70. We didn’t see a huge push. It turned out to be a good hunting day anyway. However, I expected to see more movement. Our high field shot 58, and our low field shot 16. I’ll take it.

Feb 2, 2025

It’s wet…bring waders! Not all the fields, but they are forecasting more rain later in the week. Today was a really good high field shot 59 and our low was 20. We had a 37 bird average. There were tons of geese rolling north in the morning. The afternoon was not as good as the … [Read More]

Feb 1, 2025

It’s wet. High field shot 75 and low field shot 6. Good for an overcast low wind day. Tomorrow, warm, sunny, southwind. I expect to see bird from the south.
