I shot a hen ruddy the same sit that I shot that white-winged scoter. They are about 1/1000th the size of the scoters. They have identical tails...

Yours is a black or common scoter hen. Nice, very nice! That shoot looks insanely fun by the way!

A friend got permission to hunt a field in the south metro. We are still new to field hunting and could have used some more/better decoys but it was still a pretty fun hunt. It is hard to hit a duck when you are laughing because your hungover friend is throwing up on himself in the layout blind next to you.

Last duck hunt of the year Oct 27th when we had that cold snap up north...had to break ice for a little ways, got to open water and set up and had birds coming in before shooting time. It was slow and had skim ice where we set up so we moved further East around 9:30 am to open water and lights out, birds started to move around the lake. Had to call it quits when the other guy fell in the water tripping over a rock retrieving a duck! Not trophy hunting as you can see... Til next year guys.

This is one of the Waterfowl pics that You don't want to take but it is what shut my hunting down for the season after Nodak.

This is what happens when you hit railroad tracks that are under the water on Devils Lake mad I was 3 miles from the landing and luckly my buddy was home from work that day and he was able to tow us back to the landing .

This happened after the hunt from the last pic that I posted with the ducks on the front of the boat. We still had three days left to hunt and still did very well and we didn't let the incodent hamper our hunting.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
