The average harvest of ducks per hunter at San Jacinto Wildlife Area rose slightly on this Saturday as compared to Wednesday’s totals on a day with windy, warm Santa Ana conditions. Green Wing Teal stayed in first place again for number of birds taken and Shovelers took back the second spot today just 2 bird behind the Green Wings. Tom Trakes, from San Jacinto Wildlife Area, reported that the results for Saturday, 1/24/15 were as follows:
142 adult and 8 junior hunters bagged 99 Northern Shovelers, 61 Gadwall, 1 Widgeon, 101 Green Wing Teal, 1 Mallards, 2 Pintail, 4 Bufflehead, 12 Cinnamon Teal, 2 Redheads, 1 Ring Neck, 1 Scaup and 17 Ruddy Ducks. Zero geese were taken at San Jacinto on Saturday. 14 coots were also checked in on Saturday at San Jacinto. This figured out to an average bag per hunter of 2.01 ducks, or, with the coots included, 2.11 waterfowl per hunter. Tom advised that out of 52 reservations 26 showed up on time.
So that’s it for the regular waterfowl season for 2014 / 2015. If you are a junior hunter, or you have a junior hunter in the family, there’s one more chance for them to waterfowl hunt this season at San Jacinto’s Annual Junior Waterfowl hunt.
