First ducks for this guy
« on: January 20, 2014, 08:36:43 PM »
Finally bagged my first ducks ever at the end of the season. Man, what a good time. I'm pretty sure I'm addicted for life fellas. It brought me back to the good ole days in the military when I went through Ranger school and set up ambush's. It was like a Ranger school ambush... Only on ducks!

Nice job, congrats on getting some green, and the other one, they are just as hard to call in (maybe harder sometimes) and hit.   :)

Loki, it was actually pretty cool. A duck came in by the pond we were set up at and landed in a different pond. He would give a single quack and we would repeat it right back. Then he would go again, and we would answer. This went on for about 15 minutes, then he jumped up to join us in our pond and that's when I nailed him. I almost felt guilty. Like I had just killed my duck friend that we were carrying on a conversation with haha.

Awesome!  That's also good calling practice when you can repeat what they are doing.  I have found that single quacks can be quite effective calls.  When I used to decoy hunt more, I would just randomly do single quacks even when not seeing birds.  Quite often a few minutes later a bird would bomb into the dekes.
