Buckeye Lake duck season has been a strange one indeed! If the three day diver hunt in early November isn't weird enough, no mallards around Christmas is unspeakable. To add to the oddity of our season we have now bagged 3 species of birds that we have Never harvested on our lake and 2 beautifully plumed birds of species that we have not had the pleasure of holding in full stately attire.
The latest of these is a very handsome drake goldeneye. Now we have shot goldeneye before, but never on Buckeye lake. I am not sure why. There is no rhyme or reason to their absence or their sudden appearance for that matter!
Last January on Alum Creek (north of Columbus) there were loads of the whistling divers, but none on Buckeye. In any event, the "ice has been broken". The first goldeneye any of us has bagged on Buckeye is in the boat!
