You always have a good mixed bag of birds Okie. I'm jealous lol. Always gads and mallards at our spots.
Dang, if I had thought about it, I should have tried to tag along with y’all hunting ducks this weekend and save money on licenses...
Thanks, but I’m only going to get in 3 sits anyway and am financially committed to deer now.
Joined in on a traveling decoy schedule with some friends from Twitter. It started in Canada and will end in Florida. I have the decoy right now, so in between deer hunts, I jump ponds on the lease midday. On Wednesday I christened my new SX4 over it with a drake mallard. Didn't take waders, so I fished him out.
I went to another pond and prematurely fished the birds via a bedded 6 point next to the pond...of course you see bucks when chasing ducks.
He went to the deer stand with me Thursday morning, but no luck.
I headed to some ponds and got close to 10 gadwall. Knocked 1 down but the others got a scare. I then hit another pond which had been holding hooded merganser, but will jump when your 200 yards from it. I took a stroll through the woods, circling way around the pond and was able to shoot a beautiful drake, which I plan to get mounted. Lord knows that's all they're good for. I ate one once and only once.
We'll be at it again some this weekend and next before sending him on his way.
