Ryan Miloshewski Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 How's everyone's duck season going thus far? Been hit or miss for me. Lots of gaddies dead, few mallards. Let me know what you've done and where! Looking to give a report to ESPN soon. Will cite you!

Gavin Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 Finally killed one today (beginner)! Thinking 8 down, with 5 shooting. One guy from KY got a nice pair of mallards to mount, and another guy got an awesome wood duck drake. Daryk Campbell Sr, wily and Ryan Miloshewski 3
ness Posted December 7, 2019 Posted December 7, 2019 Who’s retrieving these ducks? The new guy? I really miss the thrill of calling in some ducks and knocking them down. Beautiful dog work to bring them in. Don’t care to do a draw and hope I get to hunt. Don’t have the knees, time or patience to scout and hunt locally, though I know there are lots of ducks around. Can’t justify the cost of a club membership. These Brittanys don’t like water so much. It’s a pickle! John
Gavin Posted December 7, 2019 Posted December 7, 2019 Club Manager Jeff's yellow lab was bringing them back..Look up DeadWingN on facebook. He has a short video that he shot on the hunt today.
wily Posted December 7, 2019 Posted December 7, 2019 Hunting that corn looks good...wish we had some to hunt on this side of the state...high water kept 4rivers from getting a crop in...it’s been tough but still having fun... we’ve got a pretty good duck dog...here he is in action Daryk Campbell Sr, BilletHead, Gavin and 1 other 4
Gavin Posted December 7, 2019 Posted December 7, 2019 This was in IL near Vandalia. No cover at Shanks this year!

Very little cover at Grand Pass this year either. Hard to get hidden. If you do manage to kill one, you better hope it lands dead and in open water. Otherwise, it is really hard to find in the scrub.

I won’t be getting out this weekend probably, but I think we are probably going to go on the 22nd. My brother got a reservation at Eagle Bluffs that I think we are going to try to use. I haven’t been there in a few years and have no idea what things look like up there, but we’ll figure it out, I suppose. N9BOW 1
