Never knew a goose would bounce from a total MS Flyway pattern to a Central Flyway location in one migration plus a trip offshore. Bird must want me to put a cap in it since it seems to hit up everywhere I hunt.

I've seen them fishing the weirs in the winter on Big Lake headed out into the gulf, but I assumed they were headed to Mexico.

Why would a spec go out in the gulf like that?

To raft up with the other tons of ducks out there that are tired of getting sky blasted by face painters with 7 mojos

Will come back to fields at night to feed

I do know where 15 years ago we would kill a few specks a season in SE Arkansas I know of blinds that kill upwards of 150+ a season now on top of their ducks. They have followed the rice.


Specks have been thick in SE Arkansas (Lake Village, Eudora, etc.) like I've never seen the past few years.

You think we'd see pics from oil field baws on work boats, rigs, or helicopter rides back and fourth. I've never seen a pic of it.

Part of me thinks some biologist had the tracker in his back pack. Went looking for geese from from Cenla to SE Arkansas. Caught a plane into BR for a tiger game. Left there to cacth a boat and go tuna fishing, then cruise the Northern gulf until getting off in Galveston to meet his side piece. Rode around Winnie looking for geese, then headed back to LA to get back to work.

As the note says in code, "What a mission she's been on!".

I have a camp at the wax
occasionally we will bring the big boat down and run offshore to fish, in that area you have to run 60 miles plus to get to decent water

ducks everywhere out there

In regards to seeing them offshore, we regularly see teal in October and then again around march 100 miles off shore. I know its slightly different because lots of them go to mexico, but I just thought those of you who don't go offshore might be interested. A lot of times they will stop in a patch of sargassum and rest. Seen lots of coots floating in the rip in October/November as well.

There are no fences out there. Between Mississippi and Louisiana, I've seen lots of stuff : tundra swan, sandhills, scoter, harlequin, oldsquaw etc.

Another bit of cool info. A lot of time offshore, a small bird (say a finch or something, will seek refuge on the boat) they are usually pretty tuckered out and defenseless. I've noticed quite a few perregrins at the offshore floaters. When the small birds come by to rest on the platform, bam, peregrine attack.

Harlequin would be state records for both states. Need a pic if you ever see that again

There is a raft of mainly scoters right outside Cameron now with surf, black, and white winged scoters

There's a tundra swan and cinnamon teal at Cameron prairie now
