GH on the border

[Craig Larter]

Very nice thanks for posting the pictures---Are you hunting on a river or lake---buffleheads are a lake duck here in central NY. Nice limit

Eric, Years ago I hunted on Memphremagog. We took a day off from bird hunting and spent a day on the lake...a great time. We were using NE Kingdom Outfitters as guides. Are they still around?

Yes they fly the lake and not the potholes here. We are on the lake on the point of a bay where a river empties in. The migrating ducks from Canada come in the bay from flying the lake to rest and fuel up and for the past week the bufflehead have been thick coming off the lake. Still waiting for the blue bills and whistlers who fly the big lake. We usually get iced in in our current spot and switch to the west shore and sit right in the lake proper. Doesn't seem to bother the whistlers as we sit there looking like a shoe box and they still decoy well.
Sixty degrees today. We need some cold duck hunting weather.

We don't see buffleheads until our second split which begins after Christmas. Lake hunting in our parts is very weather dependent, it takes a big wind and very cold temps to move the divers close to shore. If the weather is mild they just raft up in the middle of our Finger Lakes which never freeze up. Keep sending those Canadian immigrates south----we will protect the border in NY.
