We duck hunted Friday, Saturday and Sunday. All three days were similar type of hunts. We continue to shoot mostly divers, dosgris, redheads, buffleheads and depending on the blind being hunted there can be some tree ducks, grey duck or two with a teal or two. We have not been limiting out but we are not getting skunked either. Happy we are getting some shots because some guys are not. If the dosgris limit was six we could do that easily bit since it is now two per man it is what it is.
It seems the major factor for us shooting the divers is the lack of vegetation in the ponds in our area. The run of hurricanes has wiped out the food source for the puddle ducks. The guys I know who have been shooting the greys etc. have vegetation in the area. We took a boat ride Saturday and areas with feed had a decent amount of ducks and areas without feed had very few if any.
Looks like the course has been set for our 2020-21 duck season for our duck lease. I don't expect conditions or results to change much over the next month. We may have better results on other properties we get a chance to hunt on occasionally.
