BilletHead Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I like it when a plan comes together. Went to the timber pond Pat and I checked out yesterday. Had a friend who gets to hunt a couple of times a year for a couple of days at a time. Knowing this was our last two duck days we went for ducks. Got set up and early suprise over the trees and down came a flock of geese. We each got one. Soon ducks started to fly. Over the trees from who knows where cupped and falling. Two's and three's. No calling needed. As the morning went on the flocks got a bit bigger and smarter seeing something wrong. After ten nothing flying. We had another drake we did not get. It went down on the other side of the pond I thought dead so I as always made the mistake of not taking the gun and wouldn't you know it it wasn't dead and took off out of the brush flying funny like it had no rudder control. Followed a hedge row and dissappeared. Anyway two geese and seven mallards isn't bad. Misting and icing now here and 20 tonight. Might be a field hunt for geese tomorrow. Where I had them located last two days on a pond they were not there today. Might be hard water in the Morning?

duckydoty Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Good job Marty. TR was a bust for us today. Saw alot of birds but they would not fly and were rafting way out in the middle of the lake. A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at..

JohnP Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Congrats. Found a field last night that ducks were just flat out pouring into less than a mile from a pond that we hunted on. Went to pond this morning hoping they would atleast give us a look and never did see near the number of ducks we seen yesterday. Did have about 20 ducks give us good looks and put about a dozen mallets on the water kept pitching just out of our comfort shooting range. Hoping with all the cool weather and snow cover up north will put some birds on Bull Shoals the next/last 2 days . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
