Title: Dad made a duck pond and look what showed up.
Post by: backwoods_boy 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.

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.
