mazzgolf Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Now that this minus-whatever windchill weather is backing off and it is warming up, I'm hoping the geese go back to their normal routine of flying between 7 and 8am. Has anyone noticed if that happened this morning? Are the birds flying earlier now? I'd like to get back out one or two more times before the season's done here in the south. I'm back to work now (had a few weeks off for the holidays and leftover vacation I had to burn, but that's done) so I gotta hurry and be back to work by 9:30am in the mornings . But last couple weeks when I had off, with the cold weather we had I didn't even bother to get to the fields until 9am. Birds didn't really start flying until close to 10am! Had a few good days, but I can't be out that late anymore during the weekday. Stupid work. I keep trying to figure out how I can get paid without having to work, but my company doesn't seem to be willing to do that. Must figure something out... Anyway, here's a harvest pix from one of my weekday hunts over the holidays... sad the season is almost over.

Buck154 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Still cold this morning and the first birds I saw were at 8:05am. Wasn't hunting. Will be out tomorrow after work. Should be good. With the warmer temps coming they won't have to stay on the water to keep it from freezing over. Edited January 8, 2018 by Buck154 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ 11 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 They should start flying earlier with the warmer day time temps as long as the nights aren't real cold . Good luck Mazz . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeplorableDan Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I was out this morning and we got skunked, saw a few birds around 830 but then nothing. We got 7 Saturday morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazzgolf Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Didn't go out this morning, but I heard lots of birds in the area at 8:00, 8:30am. Amazing what a little bit of warmer temps will do to get them back to their normal behavior. I guess geese really don't like sub-zero weather when they wake up in the morning I might just try to sneak out tomorrow morning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Horns Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I saw birds flying this morning while diving to work. Haven't seen any birds in the air on my way to work in over a week. mazzgolf 1 I'm your Huckleberry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazzgolf Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 I saw birds flying this morning while diving to work. Haven't seen any birds in the air on my way to work in over a week. Same here. Last week the geese (what little I did see) only got up in the air at around 9:30 or 10am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazzgolf Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 I had geese flying down here between 7:30 and 8:30. Some fields were loaded with a thousand geese by 9 ('course, not the one I was on ). Bit warmer this morning than what we had last week. Mid-20s temps, no wind to speak of. Blue, sunny skies. Usually these cloudless skies are dead, but the birds were definitely on the move. 1957Buck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenrossi Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Had a goose in the decoys 25 minutes before LST this am. Buddy and I were done on Cans by maybe 7:30 this am. Maybe earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
