Dan Denton?

[tmiller]

Anybody hunting Dan Denton this weekend? The birds are there....lots of green and divers.

The Dnr has it set up for a counter productive shoot. Three is too many groups (each working against each other) so it turns into a dove shoot. They need to make it one group on each side of the road and the parties drawn will have an awesome memory.

I've hunted three times over the last few years and everytime was a disappointment. Way to much sky busting. With that said, good luck.

Was there twice on one day. First time and last time.

Paging the Dnr- we’d love to see the one opportunity mid ga has incur a quota reduction so that the party selected has a better quality hunt

I waited 12 years to hunt it and was on the wrong pond, We shot one hen ringneck. Other pond killed a bunch.

As others have mentioned on here, they typically have three groups. If birds even attempt to work, a group will typically sky bust in the stratosphere because they know if they don’t, the other group will shoot them. Also, you can have a big group headed your way and another group skybusts, and it ruins that group. It can be hard to get decent shots. If you can work it out, combine forces with the other groups and hunt together. If everyone brings three then it can be a bit much, but still better than fighting each other. Many years ago only two groups showed up and we combined with them. There were a couple of kids with the guy and would let birds work and any that landed the kids water swatted, before we shot. We killed some birds that day. Much better than the first time when I went and we didn’t group up and it was a dove shoot like butler. Nothing could work, nothing could get below the stratosphere. If the other group is reasonable and you can combine forces, it makes it far more enjoyable.

Does anyone know how the hunts went Saturday?

I’ve hunted it twice this season, if birds work a group shoots birds are gone. Extremely hard to draw, extremely hit or miss on whether birds will be there. But typical GA duck hunting.

could be easily fixed with a quota reduction.

Good news is the other groups might not show....you could have it all to yourself.

Hope you don't get flooded out!

I went to a small public land swamp this morning and got a couple. Two came through early, but thankfully they, or another pair came back through and I dropped both of them.

Just this one today. Could have shot geese but I just don't have the desire to mess with them.



I think I found something for tomorrow for the last day of the season. Unfortunately, just woodies unless a teal slips through.

Dan Denton hunt went pretty good. We killed ringers, red head, blue bill, and a beautiful gadwall. Ended up with 9.
