Dad made a duck pond and look what showed up.
« on: March 08, 2009, 09:18:50 AM »
in 27 years that my parents have lived here their has always been a small drainage that went thru our field.  We had seen maybe 5 ducks in 27 years.
The other day my dad decided to dam up the small culvert that now went no-where and in one day look what showed up.
 :drool: :chuckle: :drool:
i guess i will have to get a blind and a bow come duck season.
Huge paired northerns showed up, 2 on the first day and then a total of 8 and 16 on day 2 and 3.

Sorry about the pic quality.  these guys were pretty jumpy when my daughter and i tried to stalk in close to them they wanted nothing to do with us.
so these pics were mostly taken from my moms kitchen window thru the binocs.

Set up a blind and you are in business.  I love duck hunting.  Nothing but trigger time.

I always wanted a piece of land with some low land a a small stream or pond just for this purpose. Got a buddy that lives on 80 acres of hardwoods and eastern white cedar that has just such a set up. It's provided great hunting opportunities for his sons and himself.

Enjoy your new found hunting opportunity.

there won't be any hunting going on in that front yard.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Did you possibly expect Buffalo or a Pride of Lions?  :dunno: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.
