Byron Walker Waterfowl Report -
Waterfowl numbers Significant numbers of ducks and geese have moved in.  However, very little open water is available in the huntable wetlands.  All of the birds are in the refuge and even the river is frozen over.  Beware, 8 Tundra Swans are in with all the other birds.   
Water level Kingman State Lake is more than 1/2 flooded but all the huntable water is frozen in the lake.  The bison marsh, mitigation marsh and river have water but all are frozen over.   
Hunting conditions

 2024 shows some promise as recent rains and snowfall have increased water levels in the lake by 13 inches in December.  We drained the lake this summer to rehabilitate the fishery.  This fall, dry conditions have recurred and the lake is filling slowly.   

 

Expected hunting success    limited.
