Hunting Taney

[Micheal Kyle]

Well I have not hunted Taney very much this year been concentrating on a few spots that are close to my farm. I have found a very nice spot to hunt on Taney though down by Rockaway that my daughters have been able to get quite a few this year with me. Have had a guy that has been yelling at us while we are hunting and then to top things off he went and put corn all over it one night to our surprise the next morning we were down there which kept us from hunting the spot. I called MDC explained what was going on and MDC went and had a chat with him and instructed him that he was in the wrong and had to clean it up. That most jacked up thing I have seen in my 20+ years of duck hunting.

My girls have sure enjoyed this year of duck hunting even though it has been a jacked up year for numbers and weather. Here are some pics of them from this year and to me that's what it is about.

Great pics Mike, lousy you are having to deal with harassment.

It does suck for sure, but at least the MDC shut him down!!! Plus it has been a great lesson to my daughters on how not to act towards other people.

Finally got out and tried lower Taney this morning. Still not many birds around. 1 nice flock of gadwell ( 60-70) hanging right in town. But other than that, only saw 5 or 6 small groups. Did have a lone gaddie come a little to close, and a pair of gaddies check out my spread, and dropped 1 of them. So I did get a couple shots off, and 2 come home for dinner. Was just nice to get out, and see a few birds! Wish I could hunt the weekend with this cold snap, but will be out of town. Hopefully you guys will have some good reports!
