More to waterfowl hunting than shooting birds.

[Kevin J Legg]

I was up early this morning to scout out a duck pond. Spent about 45 minutes watching the marsh come alive. Those that share my passion know it's far more involved than the number of birds one bags. I had a great, relaxing morning and even saw a few birds.  Still haven't decided if I'll hunt here once the season opens.

As I sat in my deer stand this morning, seeing nothing, I couldn't help but smile as I listened to numerous mallards chatting back and forth all morning on the marsh on our lease. Its new land to us this year and while I had my bow in my hand all I could think about as getting the shotgun back out next weekend. Can't wait......

I am having a difficult time getting motivated to sit in a tree stand in this type of weather. I think I'l be spending time in my boat this week and continue to catch fish and chase ducks this weekend.. My brother is arriving tomorrow for a week of hunting and fishing. We will be after pheasants, grouse, woodcock,and ducks and probably hit the walleyes on the river. If the salmon ever show up we may hit a trib. with the fly rods as well.  If it cools off I may even sit a couple watches in a tree stand. I love this time of year! Ultimate in cast and blast.

You guys are lucky. I live in the western duck zone. We don't open till the 18th. So warm it's hard to want to be in a treestand. Good luck this season fellas.
