weve shot some last year, but no credit to me. I just pulled the trigger... other guy did the calling. I’m still learning, and haven’t put the time in. Haven’t seen the goose traffic anywaysDComeaux wrote:Man, that marsh looks familiar. I hunted the next road south and west of you on that ridge. I really liked that marsh. We'd get speckle bellies there as well.

Where they are down there I do not know? Rockefeller? Shallow flooded pasture?

good to know, we could only fool them on stiff north winds when they seemed to be tired of fighting the flight northDComeaux wrote:BGkirk wrote:The ones we shot last year, and ones we see come from our south.

Every evening they pile into the refuge at the grit piles and shallow managed marsh area, and in the mornings head north for the day. We had a good flight every day last year doing this, some even would settle into the cow pastures near the camp to feed, but they haven't started this yet this season. I need to try to get permission to set up in these cow pastures mid morning...It wouldn't take long to get a pair.

its every year after Christmas, you can shoot a few from blinds on certain days but you’re better off sitting where you see them jump from on the boat ride out. Although it’s frustrating/rewarding that these are the only ducks we have to hunt, but it’s better than nothingDComeaux wrote:Sweet! That would be fun. Sort of like teal season in January.

Wise investment, that.
rick I thought the same prior to shooting the two. They were swimming in decoys and he paid them no attention. But yes, prolly won’t do that anymore. He’s more concerned about the blackbirds when they flush.Rick wrote:Can see why you didn't, but it might be a good idea to lay off coots, gallinules, snipe and rails while Boone is young, so he doesn't get led astray by the live ones he encounters while learning to work ducks.
