anyone out there right now? We've got a self-guided trip planned for the upcoming weekend Jan. 4-6th but at this point I highly doubt we make the trip.

Plan on empty skies

My contacts in Boliver County aren't seeing anything. The migration hasn't made it down that far. Too warm. I would recommend waiting until later in January.

Great report. Glad you had a good time. My crystal ball says in about two weeks there will be ducks.

Great time ... Family and great friends add in some ducks and dogs how can you not ... best hunt 16 and worst 7

we went anyways.....4 guys self-guided. Killed 3 GWT and 2 gadwalls first day. Killed 4 ringers and a gadwall the second day. Should have killed twice as many but was some poor shooting going on. Had a few groups of mallards to work but just couldn't quite get em in range. We stayed in the blind all day first day. stayed til 12:30 second day. This was only our second trip going self guided and we learned a lot. There were a few guided groups that didn't pull the trigger. All in all it was a good trip...haven' laughed that hard in a while.

We just got back from the south delta and picked up 112 over 12 hunts with 4 guns .....pretty slim numbers . The lowest numbers I have seen in my 29 years of hunting the delta . The majority of our birds were GWT, bootlips , and gadwall . only had 10 mallards and 4 sprigs . Water every where you looked .
