duckydoty Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 Made a duck run over to SE Missouri with a couple of buddies that call themselves the Black Plague. We poor lined it at Otter Slough on Wed. the 5th and ended up drawing pill #2. Great hunt with a variety of birds. Three limits of ducks and two white front or speckle bellies as a bonus. Hunted pool 21 and just had a bang up day. Day 2, we had reservations at Duck Creek. Got up at 3 a.m. and left Dexter, Missouri with plenty of time to get to the drawing. I mile before the turn off to head quarters of Duck Creek, the road was closed due to the bridge being out. The 45 min. detour to get around made us miss the drawing and the reservation to pick a pill that guarantees a hunt. Now I start to see why these guys call themselves the "Black Plague". Luckily there were still two pools open to hunt and we picked the one that had recorded two birds being killed in the last week instead of the one with 0 kills in the last week. Ended up collecting 7 birds out of that pool. Not a bad day and ducks for dinner that night. Day 3, we went back to the poor line at Otter Slough and drew pill 31 out of 33 parties. At least we were getting to hunt. picked pool 32 that had 0 kills the day before and only one kill one wed. We sat up in the middle and ended up busting 12 ducks and one snow. Another great day of hunting with 4 green heads, one susie, two shovelers, two gaddys, two green wings, a great bull sprig and the snow goose.

JohnP Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 Very nice DD, wish I could say it was going that well over this way. Hunted bull shoals this morning in the beaver creek area and managed to scratch out 2 gaddies of the 3 we had work. Seen maybe a dozen ducks total if that and 5 honkers. Very few and far between. Hoping that this cold front pushing thru will bring some fresh birds in.
duckydoty Posted December 8, 2012 Author Posted December 8, 2012 I hear ya John. Been pretty disgusted with Lower Taney and Table Rock so far. Thats why we made a run for the east side. Things should start freezing up north next week and hopefully force some birds down our way A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners
