mallards
starting to see some new ducks here in Iowa. shot 2 canvasbacks and 4 mallards today. probably seen well over 5 or 6 hundred mallards but didn't get many to work. tomorrow should be a better day. and today we seen flock after flock of snow geese. kinda surprised me a little that we would be seeing them this early.

I saw probably 2000 to 3000 ducks today......all circling the refuge and at heights that require supplemental oxygen!
 Things have been quite slow here the past week.....weather had been anything but 'ducky' and with moron after moron throwing up "Hail Mary" shots, the birds know where they are safe. Bagged 3 mallards, a GW teal and a Ruddy last week....today I got my first drake bufflehead. Hopefully I will have at least one good day this week where the birds come in 'cupped & committed'.....but if not, well...that's duck hunting.

Hey now, any day of duck hunting is a good day compared to working. If I got 4 to 5 ducks in a day I think I would be pretty happy.

One caveat. Assuming you are gainfully employed and just taking the weekend or vacation time to hunt. If you don't have a job, life can really suck, unless you are independently wealthy.

Well, only ended up with one hen mallard yesterday....they wanted to be in the area that was adjacent to me (but the fool hunters in there would start blasting at 'em when they were 70 yards out.....probably crippled half as many as they took!
 If the A-holes would just wait another 10-15 seconds they would have easy shots; the birds were cupped and committed).The day was breezy, but the ducks still prefer the refuge....still, it was a nice day. As a bonus, I got to watch several flights of A-10 Warthogs from the local ANG base practice manuvers. Wonder if I could get them to do a straifing run on the refuge?
