You know, when you live up there. You can pretty much go where ever you want.  You don't have to do it in a jar!

They're not super common but they aren't rare either. Spoonies have a very distinct smell to em.

Yeah I’ve shot plenty of em, just not in that part of the state.  They decoy stupid easy which can be fun but about 1/3 get tossed for rice breast.

Mother Nature was p1ssed off tonight. I’ve never experienced a storm like that in my life. Was a dirt blizzard and winds like I’ve never seen or felt before. House and family is OK but lots of carnage all around. Feels like an apocalypse.

All across the plains farmers have been removing Dust Bowl era tree belts that were put in place to help stop dust storms and keep topsoil from blowing away. History repeats.

I sat down by the shore in the BW to watch the incoming wave on the 4th of July in '99. Yelled back to my camp mates to watch out for trees.

 

"Yea....lighting!?"

 

"No....getting squished"

Ok & TX are not looking good in that regard.

But you are right, the last 20 years of taking advantage of every acre is gonna come back to bite in the Upper Midwest. 

Reminds me of the Habobs (Wanderer) growing up in Phoenix.

It was the most common duck we shot in California. If a duck was decoying straight in (low) without circling, you knew it was a spoony. I notice there's quite a bit of them on the rice fields down in Arkansas. You won't see one in the timber, though.
