In yall’s past experience, how is duck hunting in the weather conditions like the one that we are getting tomorrow? Freezing cold and windy tomorrow, possibly snow too.

Cold windy and sunny is good.

Cold windy cloudy is ok.

Cold windy and snow has never been good for me.

Cold and foggy is good.

Extreme winds if field hunting, don't waste your time no matter what the other conditions are.

I didn’t see a single duck or goose, and Clyde managed to get into a fight with his first barbed wire fence. No damage that I can find though.

Was there even any water? I'm telling you Grant, Garfield, Alfalfa and Major counties are the waterfowl Bermuda Triangle this year.

Turkey creek had about 3 foot of water in it, and the largest pond/hole they have out there had what looked to be 6” or less. It was frozen and you could see mud sticking out of the “water” where someone or something had walked across.

Was my first time out there. I imagine if it had water the area would be an absolute goldmine for waterfowl. Seems to be about par for the state though. Deep fork and okmulgee wmas are about dry too, all the wetland areas are bone dry.

I tried for a few hours today. Started out by heading out to some ponds, but I didn’t see anything. I then decided to take the boat out on the lake and headed up to a couple spots where creeks dump into the lake. About halfway across the lake, I couldn’t feel my fingers, and I remembered why I quit duck hunting on the lake several years ago. I saw a few ducks but never took a shot.

Me and a friend were crazy and went this morning. Gosh it was cold until we got set up then we were out of the wind.

Have not hunted in blowing snow for a few years. Nice to be back home in the heat.

It was good enough that we are going again tomorrow.

There’s at least double that number of ducks in Alfalfa county, because there’s at least that many just on the feedlot across from the house.

lol do they fly back to the lake at night still?

I can’t answer that, but if they’re in the count, there’s not a single duck in the rest of the county.
