2016 duck season

[longspurs]

Thanks Duckman1 !!! And it's not over for me yet but these greenheads it is . Lol got out to the farm pond and it opened up good in front of the blind . Set up 2 dozen decoys, 1 splasher. We had 3 flocks of 20 birds or more that came in just before shooting time . I looked at my buddy and say it's green day today. So we shot 1 to 2 birds per flock picking out green and with that sun in there face . I took a bunch of pics they looked to nice not to .The nice fat mallard to the right is going to look nice locked up on the wall !!!

Yeah, that was my thought. I have shot lots and started feeling remorseful thinking I was leaving something useful behind. We hunt small rivers where mergansers decimate fish fry.

I give the mergs and other nice looking birds to my buddy's dad for fly tying or my buddy's use them for Fox and coyote bait (diver ducks).

And heres the last weekend for me on the st lawrence, it was tough going but my son pulled it off. And no, I dont think he was cold, his waders only leaked a little.

got out yesterday for the a.m , went to the pond again. kicked 50 out of it when we got there. waited till 11 to see the first bird , its a pack of 8 coming 15 feet off the ground . bad day for a pit stop for them . that's all we saw till 12.

We tried for a little bit yesterday but just couldn't get on any. Very few around, but with this weather every day should get better and better!

[JakeyBaby]

Nice shooting by the way!

[bondouley]

[Kevin J Legg]

We tried today and came up empty. Saw lots of Canadas, some snows and ducks but none coming to us.

thanks dave.
I have set up 15 plus times and thousands of decoys and wasted so much time and money on them. to shoot maybe 5 birds max over decoys. If u take all the money u waste on decoys and scouting and just put it in your tank for jump shooting u will shoot ALOT.
just trying to save some people time and money. been there done it.

That's why I'm paying a guide to do the work. Hopefully it will be a success.

Tried stalking before but half the time people don't want us hunter's on there property. That's the biggest problem in ny. Other states people don't care just don't get it. I'll post some picks when we kill some.
