Guntersville area...

[olepal]

I have family in Guntersville. I doubt I will ever hunt that area but am just curious as to whether or not there is much waterfowl hunting there. Don't want your secret locations, just general information.

It use to be good not so much now. If we would get some cold weather to push ducks down it will be good at times. Wouldn’t waste my time on it.

What he is sayin is that there are more ducks there than stars in the Alabama sky

y’all for sure got the stars on lock. Deer/duck hunting down there years back and the first night I couldn’t believe the stars and how close they seemed.

On Guntersville.....whatever is migrating there shows up around T'Giving and that's it!! After a few weeks of heavy hunting/blasting the survivors raft up in the middle.

Setup for passing shots in the afternoon when the bass tourney fishersmen race back to the landings and bust up the rafting birds.

Hit or miss. Mainly miss. But some of my favorite hunts have been on that section of river. Not a place to go for limits, but more so for scenery and the chance to kill anything from scoters to pintail. When it gets cold and the ice spreads it can be an old school, freeze ur balls off type of hunting. That sun takes a while to get over the mountains but, when it gets like that the ducks show up. Problem is, they only stay for 24 to 36 hours and then it gets back to normal with highs in the 70s. Lol
