Where are the Green Heads hiding?
« on: November 29, 2004, 09:23:55 AM »
I've been hunting the open water in the middle of the lake, I've been hunting in the flooded green timber, in the dead timber beaver ponds, and in the backwater swamps; and I can't seem to find the Mallards anywhere. I know they're already down here (Texas) because some other guys I know have been killing them.
Where are you killing your Mallards at? I need all the ideas I can get...

Thanks

Michael

I have had success in open water at the edge of flooded timber.  I have hunted the same area all season and have been pretty lucky with timing my trips.

From what I have heard most places in OK are light with ducks.  I found a sweet spot that is not hunted very heavy and is keeping the ducks pretty well.

Good luck in Texas.

We just started killing ducks last week in north Louisiana  Haven't seen too many Mallards though, but we are seeing some.  The recent rain has hurt the hunting though.  Too much water and a flooded blind.
