Brother shot a banded drake mallard and banded Canada this year. He was on a hunt that they shot a goose that was banded in 1995 but lost the flip for it. Took me a long time to shoot a banded duck,...
It was a banner year for waterfowl. I actually got bored shooting mallards. Got a hard freeze early, thawed back out, and it was on....
Naw the wispy beard was a dead giveaway that I was dealing with the same 2 birds.
8.5" beard, 1" sharp spurs. Watched him keep running off a satellite tom that had a rope for a beard. His beard was mostly rotted off. Used a creek, then belly crawled down a ditch to get into...
Well bird I missed on the 18th messed up again and came home in my truck
Missed again this afternoon. 2 toms and 2 jakes at 15 yards. Switching guns for tomorrow morning. Brother smoked one an hour into his hunt this morning. Sent me a text that said "I don't miss". We...
2 days ago we came close to 90. Yesterday we hit 75. Woke up to snow this morning. Wish mother nature would make up her mind.
Well missed yesterday evening in the thunder, rain, and wind. Gonna let them rest a few days then try again.
I'll probably sit this one out. Although the land we are trying to buy will have turkey hunting on it. If we get the land closed when we hope to, and the outage ends at the right time, I may get a...
Buddy shot 34 today by himself over decoys.
Lots of stuff to do. Also buying some land that is in prime duck location. Just have to get some scratch together to put a pond in. Need to buy new decoys for sure.
Welcome aboard
I hunted them a lot back when few did. Sold my spread and decided to fish in the spring once every Tom, Dick, and Harry decided to hunt snows in the spring. Put out a big spread on warm day with a...
Last day for us as well. 300 miles of scouting in two days revealed slim pickens for ducks. We chose a pond that usually gives us a chance at both. My brother is finishing up his Paramedic field...
Closing weekend of Kansas duck season and I will be without the dog. 2 days ago I noticed a large nasty looking sore on her paw. I started treating it with Neosporin and such. It wasn't getting any...
I was already hunting when my brother called wanting to know if I wanted to hunt. They had a hot field. NW winds gusting to 30. I was already set up and committed so I told them to hit it. They...
Snow+Bitter Cold= Rediculously dumb birds
This morning it was -12 with a windchill of -27 when I left for work. Its a toasty 0 right now. At noon Saturday it was 55.
This is a cold year. Only small open holes on strip pits open besides the power plant cooling lake. Windchill approaching 40 below Monday morning.
We were counting on the snow starting earlier. Birds get stupid in the snow.
Put 150 miles on the Rav4 scouting last night. On my way back home found 500 geese and 300 ducks feeding in a corn field 2 miles from the house. We obtained permission and decided to hit it this...

Had a pretty good hunt with my brother, cousin, and a friend. Found a bean field they were feeding in with a grass waterway that ran to the middle. End of the waterway was flat and full of warm...
