Title: Ducks
Post by: creekrocket on January 10, 2011, 01:04:36 PM

Here is a pic of some of the ducks we got saturday morning. The afternoon hunt was off the hook! No pics, but it was pretty impressive. Mostly blue wings and spoonies.

I thought that the cold weather would have chased the blue wings to South America!

I would have thought that too. GWT are very hardy birds, but BWT are generally the first to get out of Dodge at the first hint of cold. I am headed to MS Friday, hope to shoot something other than a mallard or woodduck this year
