Delta Report in

Lowduck if you don't mind me asking you a few questions it would be greatly appreciated. I'm coming to Ms to hunt for the final week of the season and have not ever hunted there and was wondering if you could give me a general idea of where to hunt. And what kind of decoy rig should I bring (ie. amount, length of string, etc.) Any help would greatly be appreciated I know that locals usually don't care for people outside the state hunting in there neck of the woods but we just wanted to try some different for a change.

Thanks,
JFrost

softcall; north and east of cleveland.

jfrost im glad to see outsiders hunt here our area ecco. needs all it can get, and the boost out of state hunters gives is great in my opinion! as far as places i cant help because around us if you dont own it or lease it there is not many places to hunt. all ican tell you is call the wild life services and ask about public hunting. as far as decoys, the number depends on condition. this morning we only used 12 because we were keeping a small hole open with 4 wheelers, by just circling the tight spred every 45 mins. or so. the ducks fell right in the hole, no hesitation. as far as string, how deep is the water?

Jack Frost...just to make sure you're safe...season ends Sunday. Try the public ground...there's alot of it and you won't get much in the way of info on it...folks just work too hard finding a hole to give the location away. Good luck!

Thanks guys for the info. Wasn't really looking for specific locations just general areas to try. I had heard that you can't get a permitt anymore to hunt the NWR's said they stopped selling them about 2 weeks ago any one no anything about that and if so why do they do that.

Thanks,
JFrost

Jack Frost,

I'm south of Greenville, but they tell me there is some good hunting at a place called Askew (spelling?) somewhere around Batesville, by the sound of it. And it's public. Places around Greenville that I'd recommend are Leroy Percy State Park, the MS river (access at the lakefront, with a couple of hotels just over the levee, under the bridge on the Arkansas side, Eudora Chute about 10 miles south of Lake Village, AR, Rowdy Bend Landing on Lunar Chute about 4 miles north of lake Village, Log Loader at Rosedale.... that's about all of the landings I know of. Delta national Forest at Rolling Fork, MS, any of the Lakes. You can't get out to the river from Lake Lee, unless maybe if you have a mud motor, MAYBE. If the water is down low enough (I haven't checked, probably check tomorrow evening), there might be some birds using the lake bank on Lake Lee. Some of the guys may know (hint, hint). The water was down all summer, and during bow season there was a lot of grass on the south and west banks that I figured would draw birds if there was water... The Sportsman in Greenville might have a suggestion (662-335-5018). Slater's in Indianola might know of something, as well, but I don't know their number. Bring your ice breaking boots.
Good luck everyone, and let's wear 'em out!
