Mud Pigeon, you’re right . I’m not only partially lame but my math skills have diminished . Trig you may be old but you are the exception to us old farts . Oldquack 49

I appreciate your perspective as one who hunted Wister for years and now hunts the North . When the Y15A and B panels were worked all 9 blinds became island sites . And yes the 100 yard rule applies unless there are 5 blinds then it’s 50yds. I guess the point is the reverse is true also and why...

Rick , I like the current staff under Chris but it’s my opinion that input from those who use Wister has been not sought nor open communication both ways implemented . The point Matt and I are making is that EVERY blind when reconstructed has been an island . After Y15A and B ponds were worked...

Thank you Matt for saying what I’ve been moaning about when it has become apparent that island blinds are completely taking over . As an older, long time Wister hunter with mobility issues island blinds cut me out . I would hope whoever is making the decisions would take us into consideration...

It’s NOT a dumb question . If you hunt Wister it is almost a must . Having said that it is almost like posting a favorite blind site . It doesn’t take much to wipe it out so sharing on this site should be frowned upon . Also like the hunting site you need to spend some time and scout . Anywhere...

Love the lab ! And your pond . Oldquack 49

Thanks ! I don’t want to add to his work nor open him up to nonstop harassment from disgruntled duck hunters but appreciate a point of contact. Oldquack 49

Thank you Rick ! I appreciate this . Since I wasn’t in the discussion I feel anything I would say should be kept to myself . I believe we should give Chris our support as he is doing a big job in a tough place . I drove the entire Refuge this morning and have some observation/questions . If...

Anyone record the meeting that might provide a link ? I scouted Wister this morning and planned to be home in time . One serious rain storm flooded the 10 with me on it In Beaumont . Couldn’t work the phone . Luckily Wister was dry until I got on the road . Looking at the radar I bet it got...

I’m technically challenged but IF I can figure it out I’m in ! Thank you for your pushing for this . I miss the regular physical meetings concerning our partnership at our refuges . Oldquack 49 AKA Larry Wise

If that puppy pic with her looking up in love doesn’t melt your heart you don’t deserve a dog ! Still really like her as a young lady . Old Quack 49

I was out there a lot and kept looking for familiar faces . Disappointed by how few I knew . The days of saying Wister was “Our duck club” are over . Sadly ! Oldquack 49

You’re killing me ! I don’t NEED another pup . Mine is 8 and a handful . But like labsrule I like her . Oldquack 49

Greenwing at Wister banded in Alaska . Poor guy was banded and flew straight down arriving in 2 weeks then got whacked . Old quack 49

Hunted Saturday up north and a group of pelicans landed in our pond and in a tight group started scooping and swallowing some kind of feed . Didn’t see the fish and except in the reservoirs and canals didn’t expect enough fish for that . They weren’t real wild about our shot at a duck and took...

Good on keeping private help with blinds just that, private . Tullies are bad there and even dogs strike out sometimes . Good hunt . Oldquack 49

Great experience ! She seems a keeper . What blind did you take and how did you do ? Old quack 49

Good on her and you for going together ! I’m no San Jacinto expert and won’t give you best shooting advice , Tom will do that . The blinds that have an above water walkway and hog wire blind will be easier on her . Maybe a closer distance from the truck is good too ? Good luck and report back ...

Yes , that was bright and lasted a bit . The payload and contrail were much harder to see . About only good thing I saw in the air . Oldquack 49

We saw the launch down at Wister . A nice plus for a tough day of duck hunting . Old quack 49
