Buddy and I went for a brief duck hunt after work on Friday. He grew up hunting this creek and is usually good for ducks.
We wanted ducks I convinced him to bring a few geese dekes-in case-he brought 3 floaters with the dozen duck dekes
All to say- we only saw a few very high flying ducks- but we had lots of geese looking for the flock , that was not there but our calls sounded like a big flock- circled them a few times and drew several flocks in range, we took 7. Lots of geese south of the city - so much water they are in the creeks and flooded fields and not moving off to the big rivers.
I never thought we would prefer ducks over geese- but the group now almost arm wrestle to take ducks home- a bunch of geese is harder to convince them to take after a few sucessful hunts.
Get out if you can- lots birds, trees are changing to the fall colours.
Looking for ducks- cleaning geese
yes only ducks!!
I agree ducks are way better than the sky-rats lots more fun to shoot also cheers terry
