A few bad picture from this year. One being an opening day wood duck, the other being my first ever Canvasback.

Here's a few of my pics from the season, I don't get out as much as I used to but still had a decent season, mostly in ND, but killed a dozen or so ducks in MN and a bunch of geese. I'm not in any of the pics as I'm the cameraman at the end of every hunt.

Early season pasture hunt, funny story behid this one, got to hunt with some pretty good guys.

Nov. 13 Central MN goldeneyes. Pickings were slim up that way on our lakes but these 3 cooperated nicely in the wind and snow.

Few pics from ND Nov. 19 and 20. Shot a 4 man limit of 18 mallards, 5 drake GWT, one widgeon and 12 geese on the 19th during the middle of the day in a corn field. Pulled out by 1:30pm and let it rest. Set up in the same field the next am in 8deg temps, the roost froze and we only saw a handful of ducks and killed one honker. Snow shut down scouting but we found a big bunch of honkers right by the road, set up for one last go of it and killed three more.

Pair of thanksgiving metro river mallards. Waders were a bit stiff after this hunt.

Couple of MEA weekend central MN ringers. These two piled right into the dekes on saturday am and the old browning cleaned them right up. They were the only ducks that even gave us a sniff hunting all day saturday and sunday am. Was a pretty slow year in MN for numbers of ducks seen.

Got out for one last hunt on 11/30 and snagged a few more late season mallards with some good hunting partners. Got 5, one had the wad do a little cosmetic work on the top of his mind so he didn't get to show his pretty green face. He was one of a pair of drakes that came in CLOSE today. Sad to see the season go. Looks like a lot of guys on here had great seasons and worked hard for their birds. I will miss the ducks until next season, but I won't miss the 3am wakeups. I'll be itching to do it agin by next fall though.

You guys don't have duck hunting crystal balls???? Mine tells me how many four pound double reward banded neck collared septuple curl mallards I will get before I even put on my longjons. I got it in a combo pack with a mega super delux stealth layout blind that has a profile 86.437% lower than any other blind made and is endorsed by Fred Zink, buddah and ghandi; a power honker hen gander clucker carnage grinder meat shooter short reed double call; a super solar nova ultra heater camo skull cap, and it was all stuffed inside a black hoodie!

That should read 11/28, oops. Sad to see the season go today.

[JimBuck]

LOL. Just had to razz ya' a bit johnsd. Nice drake photos. I'm bummed about the season coming to a close as well. The past 4 weeks really started getting good. I'd much rather sit in the duck blind a few more weeks than trudging through cattails and corn.

NoDak mornings like these

Combined with the other groups bag + some roosters make a wall full

Put a hole in my boat. Final birds of the season just before Thanksgiving

Until these decided to join in todays Rochester fun

Still going to try and get in one more goose hunt before the season ends. Was supposed to join a group in southern Kansas but will have to put off that mallard hunt to have puppies. Will be waiting for the snows in SoDak on their return trip.

Opening day today in SW Virginia. Didn't think there'd be too many quackers flying around the Blue Ridge but we managed to find a few. Ones on the right are a pair of black ducks, a new species for the group. Fun times!

[Gordie]

Goblue your fitting right in at your new home great pics and hope to see more

[Stringerless!]

Was'nt me strait meat. The Carlos I always refer to is Carlos Avery WMA about 25 miles north of the metro.

[Maxxed Out]

Finally got this up on Youtube. Here's some video from one of our October Hunts. Sorry it's not professionally done but I thought you guys would get a kick out of it.

[goblueM]

Well with 25 MPH winds and temps in the high teens, we debated going out this mornin in the little boat... glad we did! We both limited out on black duck, mallards, and threw in a couple bonus buffies and a hoodie for good measure

[Stringerless!]

Nice !

[goblueM]
