Last Week of the Season: Who's Hunting?

[Carl]

Its the last week of the regular season, hope some of y'all will be getting out to spend a few last days in the field and on the water.
Please post pics so the rest of us can live vicariously through your experiences!

Hoping for thaw this week to get out on Friday, the last day. Ramps are locked up this past weekend, and with the tide, the ice is a PITA if we could get out. Will fight it regardless on Friday, as we have all off season to untangle the decoys!

God willing, Thursday for me. Everything is locked up here. Hoping at least something opens up with the weather we're having today, tomorrow, and Wednesday.

My season ended last week at camp in SE La even though it runs until the 31st. .

The morning my son and I arrived at camp in SE La last Friday. Third split opened the 18th.


Tuesday night of the coastal snow storm and we got 3-4 inches!! I'm 80 miles South of New Orleans. One of the coolest sights I've ever seen, snow over the Gulf of America!

We like to hunt old school in the marsh, from a pirogue

@Paul Taylor nice pictures . Glad you had a good time.

Did it big the last week for me. Flew out to my buddy’s house in Washington and we got into a whole mess of mallards the first day and blue bills and ring necks the second day



I’m in Texas this week working and season ended here the 26th. I was able to get out on my new property I have access to and see what happened.
Great way to start the morning before work. Unfortunately I won’t be able to get back to Alabama before it ends there.

We don't run completely to the end here, which is a bummer some years. This year we would have been froze out even on the coast.

I've lived on the Gulf of Mexico for 30 years and this was the first time it snowed and stuck all the way to the beaches and barrier islands, it was quite a site to see the photos my friends back in coastal Alabama were posting.
Beatiful sprig!

Yesterday A.M. Blowout low tide. Normally at least 2' of water over that ice you see my Molly retrieving on. Ice in pics is sitting on mud. Decoys are in water at ice edge . Made for tricky shooting as we had to shoot birds over ice on swing so she could make retrieves. I wouldn,t send her in water because my 20' boat was sitting completely on mud sticking half way out of boat hide behind blind. If she got in trouble in outgoing flows I wouldn,t have been able to help her with boat. First morning river had actually opened up a bit from complete ice over.

Today was my last day. Shoreline froze solid in the morning. Warm and sunny by noon. Sculled up a trio of GWT.
