Roper-It happens to all of us. We have all had bad days in the field. Gosh-I had some really bad ones!!! Its what we do next that that can define the moment. Best to shake it off and move forward. Wister looks so good Kid may come back for a hunt? Apparently the crew really cares about the...

514 was kinda free roam under Rick and is not hunted that often so I'm not surprised the signs may not be ideal. That being said, it's really not hard and don't over think it. The best hunting at Wister is often not at sunrise. If you can't find your signs relax and go out after daylight. I...

If a high flock is passing over on a mission rarely will any call will bring them down. When flocks start to break up, lock up, and start looking/grinding around, these are the ones that will respond to calling. Its best to call to tips and tails and call sparingly. A whistle is the best so cal...

That is an empty lot. Good luck today! My brother is in for Merced-Im sure he is glad you decided on los banos!

I drove out last year and the place was beautiful. The closed zone was especially nice. Unfortunately the duck ponds were dry due to the low river and the hunting in the valley was generally slow for ducks (for us anyway).

Wister was decent. Slide in for the afternoon and shot some birds (1pin, 3teal). Mosquitos were insane. Decided that was enough and blew off Sunday.

Yep looks like dead ducks.

Yes-Take Steve-ilovesprig! Got a 15 for "the wiz" on sunday.

Matt, your scout was the same as mine. Many more areas will be open. T10 looks amazing. Geese will eat the food in 114 and it will be fine. Cupped, welcome to wister man-my spot was overgrown almost 10 years ago and finally this year it was opened up. Many good shooting blinds will open this...

My hope is the keep recharging the ponds with fresh water while draining the old like the used to when IID ran the weir boards. Water would come into the reservoir from the ditch and be released through the ponds and finally out the far end back into the ditch and drain into the sea. This kept...

I think there will be more blinds sites open on opening day this year than there has been in a long time. From what I have seen when I went to the camping draw, the new crew absolutely kicks butt and the refuge looked great.

Here is where some of the water is going- San Diego approves new 1,800-home neighborhood in western Mira Mesa

So water transfers happen and cause this disaster. Who got the water? Developers building homes need some sort of water supply so there ya go. Make the developers pay to fix the sea, build some more desalt plants for sea water. But nope, let's make a fortune because of the water transfers and...

Slinky70, the new Wister management seem to be way more on top of things. If you haven't been out yet this year when you do I hope you will be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

"Many of the Salton Sea's problems began in 2003 when a transfer agreement began cutting off huge amounts of water that once flowed into the lake as irrigation runoff from the Imperial Valley. " " Since the 2003 water transfer deal, the lake has lost a total of 23,800 acres of surface area and...

I spent a bit of time on the video and I see some interesting things that really give me hope the current crew is on it. 115C looks burned. 413 looks green. W11A looks burned.

Thanks for the reply Steve. Its funny but I have grown kinda fond of SJ. Im really excited about all the work at Im hearing about and seeing at wister. They are burning again and the CWA work down south looks awesome from what I have seen on the CWA website.

Are they looking to add new blinds or rebuild old ones? If they are adding new blinds, where are they thinking of placing them?

From CWA Facebook- This week at Wister Dirt work has been completed and final grade checks were wrapped up earlier this week! Water control structures and pipelines have been installed and tested. The parking lots within the T12 and S20/22 areas have all been graveled and ready for vehicle...

Forget wister after it rains. The dikes are unwalkable, mud stuck on boots make them weigh a ton. The roads are brutal. Unless you have experienced them, its hard to explain. Its as slippery as ice at times. I have pushed vehicles sideways by myself. Then you get the pleasure of the wister...
