Nice shoot KJL !! I have been working like crazy but made the trip up north for the opener . I hunted solo this morning, my buddies didn't want to go to the back of the swamp so they stayed up front. Lots of birds flying saw lots of teal and wood ducks but the widgeon and gadwall were flying good . Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yeah really , I think your choke can do better honestly I've seen way better tss 410. That's why I asked after I gave a compliment on it being "not to bad" at 40 ...... Butt hurt? Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

17 pellets in the head for a 410 at 40 not bad wouldn't recommend 40 tho"yes it can kill at 40" , did u try any others? Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Longbeard XR at sportsman was 25.99 a box , it's up a bit from last year but every time I go I pick up a box or 2. I'm glad I got 2 boxes of TSS last year I never use them tho. I think I'm good for a bit. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I was reading lots of posts from people who use #9 shot . Last time I remember #9 shot is against the law or did I miss something? Tss at sportsman was 80.99 for 7,8,9 shot blend box of 5 . Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Question , I thought you can't use #9shot for turkey in new York? Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks. There were a couple boats out there. I didn't see any ice blocking the launch but I bet there is some still floating around the bay . Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Nice job kill all them "bird nesting destroyers" #savetheturkeys . Crows kill lots of turkey nests each year. 1 crow could be a flock of birds ..... Can't beat a good crow hunt !!! [emoji23]. It is a good time! Not bad for a bait pile hunt. Get on a flight and it's a blast. Scout bird , it doesn't matter if u shoot the scout they will come back to the dead 1 if they are going to come back . Give it some time out there could be a lull between flights. Decoys are good to have. Make them look as real as possible , as in how they are sitting . Do some reading and u will be amazed how smart these birds are . For a call try feeding frenzy or a destress call . Got out a couple times this year but not as much as I would like to. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

These 2 lakes the Lakers are lazy. They never chase like other lakes " as fast as u can reel". 1/2 oz tube jig thread a smelt on the hook coming out dorsal fin and put a stinger hook by the tail . Jig that like a tube Jig. It's called" Hemlock candy ". Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

My buddy and I found a nice wet spot in a field with 75 Mallards yesterday . Got permission and hunted it this morning. We shot the first 2 pairs and packed up. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Went out solo this morning to the public swamp. I would have had more shooting but I didn't want to move where they wanted to be. I had only one bird come in and it's a stud of a bull !!! Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

My buddy and I went down to the creek today , slow first light then 745 to 830 couple birds started flying. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hit the public swamp solo again. This morning was a lot more of a duck day , high winds, overcast with some grit mixed in. More ducks flying today than yesterday. Unfortunately most of them were mergs , a couple nice size flocks of mallards going out to feed but some stopped by to visit. I gave a 3 pack of geese a couple honks to keep them inline looking and down my 1 [emoji23]. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Solo hunt this morning on some public , not a bad day for how nice it is. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Wild encounters, Jeff frisby . I just got back my greenwing and gadwall and was happy with both. I'm taking my pintail and gadwall there for dead mount . Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

That's awesome , can't beat a good time with friends and some ducks mixed in. 2 duck out of a flock is good shooting and blacks [emoji106] Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

My buddy and I hunted a public swamp this morning not many birds but the ones that came did it right. With all my puddlers mounted time to start them all in a dead mount. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

My buddy and I hunted a corn field this morning . Waited for the rain to stop then set up. Had 1 flock come in and we left. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I did some scouting the past couple days in the swamp. I saw about 20 shovelers feeding a couple days in a row and with most of the backwaters frozen today was the day to try before things open up again and they feed elsewhere . The Mallard's wanted another spot than us but my buddy and I had them shovelers fly over and we dumped 2 . I lost sight of them 2 nice drakes in the flock as they were coming in [emoji107].
