Sound's of their Wing beat's!

[strat-o-caster]

I stood out front of my yard last night( Cloquet) letting my dog's do there thing and heard the wing's of whistler's going over my head. I heard at least 3 different group's of them in about a 15min span.... Strat

I was hearing that last night to. Its an awesome sound. Only 6 months and we will be able to hear that sound in the blind.

The ducks and geese are here in full force. It has been a great time to observe and enjoy all species of ducks,numerous geese and a few swans.

Hey Strat, do you hunt locally? I am just a few miles away from you and have found the hunting to be downright horrible. We are going to Canada for the 4th time this fall because the hunting around here stinks! Ever hit the river up near your parts? I hear it can be good, but have never tried it. BC

We had a great opener up here! I usually open near Glenwood Mn which is my home town. I've had some good shoot's but few and far between. I usually take a week and go to No Dak ... let's talk Canada sometime.... Strat

Wood ducks seen on a pond in White Bear on Saturday, April 1. No fooling.

My pond opened up yesterday and there are already 50 + ducks using it. I went out this morning and it felt just like a nice fall duck hunting day. Crisp temp and ducks cruising overhead. Could be a long 6 months.

We hunt in the same neck of the woods. I hunt near kensington, about 15-20 minute drive from Gleenwood. We ussually see plenty of ducks there on opening weekend.

I can't hear the wing beats unless thay take my cap off. But I was down by the St. Louis harbour yesterday watching the return of many different kinds off ducks. Goldeneyes, buffles, mallards, fish ducks, widgeon, ringbills, bluebills and of course tons of geese. Man they sure look nice this time of year, wish they looked like that in the fall.

[Dean Schellinger]

I hear ya Outdoor Ran! That is why I really enjoy hunting late season, beats those immature mallards and skimpy hen wood ducks anyday. Big fat northern birds usually have a little better plumage. Nothing like the spring though, I love getting out and just watching all the different species I never seem to see in the fall!

When I woke up this morning I looked out my window and Saw a drake and hen wooduck sitting up in a tree about 20 yards from my house.
