From tomorrow I'll finally get to see what Arkansas is all about. And the weather seems to be playing in our favor.

Snow/Ice/COLD.

[Biggie1976]

You will have a blas4. If the birds are heavy it's unreal and you won't want to come home.

[PBiz]

Snow ice cold ain't it..

36, blue skies and 15 mph winds are.. "It"

[quackaddict]

I don't know about R-can-saw, but I'll take blue skies and light winds(5-15s) any day out here over snow and ice.

You want be so excited about hunting around here anymore.

[murraywader]

In Nebraska now and there is nothing but mallards and geese feeding in the fields. Luckily we have a warm water slew that is holding some birds. Going to be 0 here by Friday and everything will be locked up except the Platt River, which will begin to freeze. As soon as the snow cover hits the mallards will leave. In the next week the mallards should be thick in the central US. Oh yea we killed enough to speak of. Nice being able to kill 5 mallards a day!

[BOGSTER]

I'll be out there in a month for the first time in a few seasons.

It's over due.

Good luck Tee.

That's one thing Im liking is the lows are in the teens. The fields we will be hunting are pumped so they won't be froze over. Hopefully the pattern won't change between now and then.

A pumped field will freeze just like anything else. If it warms up during the day plan on sleeping in and hunting mid afternoon. It can get good when the ice starts to thaw and the sun comes out.

I dont get it? Water will freeze in the teens. Should the field not already be pumped up and the pump no longer running?

"We have pumps in place for keeping the fields from freezing over."

I imagine they know what they are doing.

[Dook]

Good Luck white sunglasses. Be courteous, and pick your shots. Aim. Dont rush anything out there.

You will enjoy the fields and pits, but the timber is where "it" is.


I will be just east of ya the day after Christmas, I just hope the deep freeze doesnt get there before I do. Its gonna be one cold ass winter.

The guys we hunted with in Arkansas last week had two ice heaters in the decoy spread running over night with a generator.

You should have a decent amount of birds down to have a good hunt. Been dry out there. We need rain.

And "it" is 40 degrees, bluebird sky, 15mph south wind
