Feathers and Fins Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 As I mentioned yesterday we found a lot of birds and had to go out for closing day. It was a pure Duck hunt and one that has had me smiling all day ear to ear like my first duck hunt. The morning started off beautiful with a little breeze not even enough to take the glass off the lake and gave a great morning picture view. We had noticed the mallards yesterday in the Buckbrush so we set up for them that way and then put out the longline Goldeneye for divers. The birds worked nice picked off a few Bufflehead and Goldeneye and then a Dream bird came in well a pair but I only managed the Hen the drake stayed to far out. Talk about a rare bird not something you would see or expect to see in Arkansas try OLDSQUAW. I have dreamed of one day shooting them and today just 8 miles from home I did it. The drake cam back a couple times but never in range. I have been smiling all day and could not think of a better way to end the season.

JohnP Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Sweet and congrats. Only seen one on bull shoals about 5 years ago and he never came close enough to get a shot at.
duckydoty Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Wow! There have been some lost birds in the last couple of weeks. I know a buddy that got a surf scooter off Table Rock last week.
