Home for thanks giving, have a slough, hasnt been hunted all year!!!!!

I am going home for thanksgiving. My dad has a slough that is holding ducks, and hasnt been hunted all year. I would like to hunt the area for 2days. My concern is that I am going to bust the roost on the first day.The slough is pretty good size, big enough that if you shoot at ducks they will land on the other side. I would love to hunt a field but my dad cant find where they are feeding, because there is too much standing corn. Would you guys hunt the roost? My hopes are for some downed corn to see where they want to feed. These are mostly local birds, with some divers rafting in the middle.

If you can kill ducks when no one else is i say why not! That kind of stuff is freezing over quick (at night) so get it while the gettin is good

This time of year I would hunt em when you got em. Just don't shoot at big flocks and they will keep coming back, especially the divers.

I believe by thanksgiving all the sloughs will be froze from the looks of every weather forecast I have seen... You may be to late. I would get in there now if possible

plan on bustin ice...you should get some action though. if they keep the slough open and continue to roost there, wait to setup until the puddlers have flown out to feed. set up quick and shoot some when they come back in. probably the best way to get 2 solid shoots out of it.

They gotta be feeding somewhere, and I'd hunt there. It's your slough though so do what you want.
