luckycraft Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Its been a weird year as far as weather goes for a water fowler. That early cold front had me worried when I saw a DU report of 550000 mallards already dabbling in Arkansas. A bad attitude wont get you any ducks and you can't get em on the couch. I headed out on Thanksgiving morning with not too high of hopes. I threw out my spread and saw a grand total of 3 high flyers. I was discouraged but prior to leaving had 15 geese fly over me and managed to scratch out one. The next weekend I brought a buddy up to the same location and I didn't have much hope. To my surprise saw a lot more ducks. Ducks did not respond much to call, but we did manage to get 3 gadwall to work the decoys. My buddy dumped one and I sky blasted. It was well worth the trip. Here are a few pics of my trips. Waiting for colder weather. Good luck to all Mike
Members Nathan Shaw Posted December 10, 2014 Members Posted December 10, 2014 It's been "off" for me as well. Hang in there, the best is yet to come..........I hope. Shoot'n is definitely part of it, but now why we do it. Enjoy your time out in God's country with like minded folks and that good looking pup!
BilletHead Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Well done Mike. Strange season for sure. We are scratching out a few more.

mhowerton Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Nice report. Been slow here in Northern Arkansas with the warm temps also. Headed to southeast Kansas Friday to try to hunt some up.

She is good looking, the old women, Just turned 7 but still has a little jump in her step. Steals my socks out of the laundry on a daily basis....I need to take her hunting more often.
