Had a great hunt the other day. It was cool having flocks of a hundred or so working the spread almost didn't want to shoot some of the time. It was cool just watching work. Emma had a blast on her first duck hunt. She got a little muddy.

Some corn fed fatties!!! As well as a little BLING!! YUM!!!
there you go. congrats on the bling
Looks like it was well worth your effort :z-guntootsmiley: congrats on the banded mallard :you_rock:
Went on a quick field hunt today with a buddy that spotted a single Speck with all of the other Canada's on the roost. Prolly the only speck that stopped in Iowa. Have seen a handfull in my entire waterfowling career here. Well as luck would have it birds were commng off the roost. We had three on the deck and cupped. My buddy calls the shot, drops the first two and then I pulled the trigger on the lone bugger. It looked a little funny after he shot and he flarred. I could see the belly. When it hit the ground I realized what just happened! Needless to say there was a lot of whooping it up and it's going on the wall! Not a bad day in the field except for being a little nervous with deer shotgun opener today...

Corn fed greentops and wonder bread black feet!
Booked a trip this last weekend in Kansas with an outfitter. Weather was a little warm with not a lot of wind but the guides did some good scouting and put us on the meat for our last hunt. Chief.
First hunt and the first 6 Specks to decoy never left the spread. Nice start for the hunt plus 3 Cacklers rounded it off started slow but good.

Nice Cackler we were able to get in the dekes while duck hunting a small cow pond.
(http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w296/ChiefBubba/Kansas%20Hunt/DSCN0151.jpg)
3 birds headed for the Taxidermist my buddies Mallard had a triple curl. My first Wigeon and first Gadwall. I may hold out for a better Wig if I can get one but the Gaddy for sure is going on the wall.

Went duck hunting with my friend Dr John Zeiter yesterday. We killed our limits with 9 teal, 4 ringnecks, and a gadwall. We wont talk about how many shots it took. Lets just say we talked to another member of the club afterward and he said that the blind is in such a way that the ducks get on you quick and that he shot 125 shells to kill his limit the last time he hunted it.

Got a field lined up for tomorrow afternoon. Couple thousand ducks in it so I should have some really good pictures tomorrow evening.
I love the pics guys! Here are a couple pics of the wood ducks we took out of a field here in WI

My buddies and I limited out the next morning in the same field. Hunt only lasted about 15 minutes
(http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/Whitetailman/ResizedImage951350243613588.jpg)Me and one my dads buddies with a mess of woodies and a couple geese. We were 2 shy of our 4 man limit but the un expected geese made up for those.
I hope you all had a safe and fun season. I know we sure did this year! And good luck next year!

Great pictuers guys. We need water or our season is going to be BAD!!
With the drought we have little to no water most places. Happened to be out driving around and found a few hundred ducks feeding in a soybean field. Ended up having to set up in the water way, but a 20 mph south wind helped. Ended up with a limit of mallards, and we had one chance at a bonus widgeon hoving over my brother's blind but he didn't see it.
Sorry, lots of pics but we haven't had very many good hunts this year. The wife gets induced Thursday, so its likely my last hunt of the year. Also I shot video if someone can recommend a good downloadable video editor.

The retarded duck that wouldn't leave. Already had our limit of mallards so we finally sent the dog. He stayed there while we stood up and shot videos and pictures.

My 10 second limit of geese during first season. Took out the lead bird on the second shot and the flock split. Let me get two more shots in the BPS and 2 more birds went down. I'll never pull that off again. reflexl

Our season went out today, what water we had froze over and the ducks that were hanging around left. I would have like to got out at least 1 more time this season.
A couple of pics from last week.
Some geese from one of our hunts :camohat:
A few more from the season....not all kill shots , had a great season and the BPS 10ga got a workout !.
Mallards/ and a ice hunt with a lucky bird still in decoys.
Lookin' good guys!
Had a pretty good season. Didn't get to hunt as much as usual, and the kill counts weren't as high as they have been, but I got get in on some good hunts and had a lot of fun!
