Anyone been in this area latley, I have a farm out there and haven't been there yet this year (unpredicted surgery)..but wondering if there were any ducks around?

[mnwaterfowler13]

my dad and another friend lease a little bit of land near barry and thay have said that it is filled with ducks this year, but reports can always change quickly out in that part of the state

John,

Where's your farm? I'll be hunting out by Artichoke this weekend. I'm sure there's plenty to go around.

[John Swanson]

Ray,

I have a small chuck on the east and a large chunk on the west side of otrey lake....

[Ray Esboldt]

Good luck to you out there this weekend, John. I've hunted around Otrey many a time.

[John Swanson]

Nice work. I may be going to Ortonville some time this fall. Hopefully I can find a way to get on some ducking water.

Looks like lots of productive water on the map.

Well we ended up with 26 total for sat. sun. Good mixed bag mallards,gadwalls,teal,woodies the usual opener ducks didn't really see many ducks but they were obviously around with the amount of gun shots I heard. Plus pheasants everywhere so ready for next weekend. All and all a pretty good opener!!
