Coastal Ducks

[b.man]

Finally made it out for my first duck hunt of the year. Hunted estuary water near lincoln City area and did not see many birds, though the weather was a bit wild :shocked: Can any one share their findings for coastal ducks thus far. I would like to try Tillamook before the end of the month but might reconsider if the hunting is spotty there as well. [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img]

Usually I do very well on the bays, but I've had really mixed results this season. I hunted L.C. area last Saturday, and other than the pintails that I kept passing up, there really weren't a lot of birds out there. I ended up with two (bufflehead and a shoveler), and a couple of missed shots on mallards. Never even saw a wigeon within 500 yards.

Maybe next time. :grin:
