Faribault county, Sat was an awsome mallard shoot. At least 2000 ducks on the water. Sunday was a little different. We wouldn`t attempt to cross the lake in the wind so we hunted where we could. Gaddys, widgeon, redheads, ringers, and mallards. Must have seen 500 or so snow`s and blues. Dad went today and picked out greenheads and a pair of drake buffies. Work sucks! Flip

Hunted this morning 11/15 near I-Falls. Thought this weather coming would have birds moving,was wrong again. Very few ducks around, managed to shoot one large greenhead.

Was nice to be out, no one else hunting.

Was really hoping to get out and give it a go yesterday, but the wind was a bit too much, the boat full of ice from the rain, and ice was forming around the boat at shore. Took 5 glances of the lake throughout the day and didn't see much though to my surprise. Just 2 flocks of bluebills and 3 flocks of geese. Didn't see any high flocks moving south such as mallards, divers or geese. I'm a little baffled about that!

As predicted, the lake has froze up tight now. Will need warmer weather to thaw it out again.
