What would your dream waterfowl hunt be?

What would your dream waterfowl hunt be?

Id like to hunt in Mexico. Ive hunted SoCal and it was phenominal, but mexico looks REALLY good.

My dream waterfowl hunt would be to take a whole fall off, and follow the migration from Nothern Canada, through the Midwest, and into the Gulf Coast. Especially rewarding would be to get to see and harvest one of each species of ducks in the Mississippi flyway. I would love to get some real late southern birds in full plumage, like a big Pintail with a really long tail, some colorful green-winged teal, and a cinnamon teal.

The hunt you had in Arkansas this fall looked like a good time. I would probably go with hunting in Arkansas.

Anywhere where my two boys are at my side hunting with me. One is 8 and is now shooting ducks...got three this year! The other is 4 and is anxiously waiting for the opportunity when he can shoot too. I dream of the years to come when these two can be sitting with me watching the ducks come in. There is nothing better than sharing that experience with them. That is my dream hunt!

Hunting in northern Saskatchewan! Waterfowl that has yet to see hunters or guns at the top of their migration! cool

Any weekend in November 25 years ago on Winnie when we used to see an actually northern flight. I miss the sound of 600+ wings as they screamed over our blocks.

Look up Argentina and Uraguay. Looks outrageously fun. Do MN opener with a guy that was in Argentina many years ago. The farmer didn't want them to quit shooting geese so the guides pulled out spotlights to keep on going. I saw pictures of the bed of a pickup heaped full. Have seen one lodge that includes in the price your first 2000 rounds. I thought it was a typo meant to be for a dove or pigeon hunt but it was confirmed elsewhere in the site. Pretty spectacular photo gallery.

Right now, 25 degrees and a stiff NW wind seems like a fantasy.

I don't know. I'm with Land'r on the kid thing. My son started in with me this past fall, so that really was a desire realized. Otherwise, probably Argentina.

The sun rises off the eastern horizon, burning the dew off the finely manicured grass. I spread bread crumbs around before settling into the leather seat of my truck. The geese come in, wave after wave. As I scan the birds through the scope, a small shimmer of light reflecting off the leg of a large bird catches my eye. I squeeze the trigger and a .177 pellet thunders down range. BOOM! Headshot. The other birds barely even react. I pump my gun 10 times, drop another .177 in the pipe and start scanning the flock again. I just need 3 more to fill up my call lanyard.

Now that's some dream huntin right there!

what? too soon?

My dream hunt would be on property that I owned and had developed into a waterfowl haven. Knowing that I would be passing it on to my sons and them to theirs.

My dream waterfowl hunt would be going after some roosters in a big slough smile Believe it or not those ring necks are amazing swimmers for not having webbed feet! Ive even seen them dive under water!

I would say my dream hunt would be like someone else said, my own property developed for waterfowl shooting side by side with my ol man

I usually have a least one dream hunt where everything works right and we end up shooting a fair amount of birds.

I dream of hunting and end up going to the same spots over and over again and I never leave minnesota

IceHawk, I had that experience 3 times in South Dakota thru the years where they were spiralling down, but nothing like you see on those snow goose video's!

I just purchased Habitat Flats F5 Buried in Snows DVD and all I can say is "Awsome" video to say the least! Wish I was there! blush

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
