    Default Start of Montana Waterfowl Season

    121413669_3421519531246909_1002617527335775275_o.jpg121331844_3430161963715999_838991799845723536_o.jpg

    Finally back to one of the best times of the year. After enduring a very dry, fire-stricken summer there is less water than usual available to hunt. With that being said, shallow water has made for some easier hunts.1.5 hour Green-wing beat down last weekend. Managed a decent mix bag yesterday as well, consisting of 2 honkers, 1 widgeon, 2 green-wings, and to my utter surprise, 2 surf scoters. Looking forward to this "Alberta clipper system" moving through the rockies this week, hoping it willprovide for some incredible hunting in the coming week or so.

    I’m in Montana now. Seeing decent numbers of widgeon and gadwall. No mallards. The weather coming in this weekend should help a lot.

    Man I hope my next duty station is there.

    “… duckhunting stands alone as an outdoor discipline. It has a tang and spirit shared by no other sport—a philosophy compounded of sleet, the winnow of unseen wings, and the reeks of marsh mud and wet wool. No other sport has so many theories, legends, casehardened disciples and treasured memories.”
    --John Madson, The Mallard, 1960

    Pretty work...not much tops shooting ducks in the Rockies in my opinion. I've been making trips back every season since I moved back from living in those mountains 10 years ago.

    Very nice. I think I've hunted pheasants next to that reservoir.

    Lots of mallards around where i'm at, not quite as many gadwall. But the widgeons are here in force.
