Duck hunting over a frozen lake haha

[St.Clair5x5]

So my buddy and I when coyote huntin' where we usually go duck huntin', but can't due to freeze up. While out we noticed a constant amount of geese flying in the area along with the occasional groups of mallards. we decided to head home and grab our goose and a couple diver decoys. The ice was around 4 inches thick, but with all the rain and wind action the lake didn't look frozen. So we put the to diver decoys about 10 yards off shore on the lake and the goose decoys in the adjacent field.  No geese but we did have a pair of mallards lock on to the diver decoys haha. Picked out the drake and let the hen fly. So my 9 week old pup got to see his first green head.

If you cannot break the ice:

~Try a black tarp on the ice next time along with some full body duck or goose decoys standing around the upwind "edge" of your fake opening in the ice.

Did this kind of hunting this morning. Lake was frozen over and clearly looked like it so we just through some decoys out on the ice (all 6 decoys looked dumped and were all lopsided) but right at shooting hours the ducks couldn't tell and had a good ammount of ducks come in to our decoys.  Finally got cormfortable on the 4th ducks to come in and took down a drake mallard.  Suprising what you can do with 6 decoys, frozen lake, and a duck call.
