First ducks

[CLarson757]

First two legit trips out were successful. I’ve always seen ducks in creeks and ponds while deer or turkey hunting. Never thought twice about it. Now I want to join a club and buy a new gun

Public land, jumping ponds and creeks in D16!

Only way to kill ducks!! Spot and stalk!! Nice work dude..that one in the middle is my favorite!! Life size with habitat or without?

Smashed em!

Now you've got me thinking! I LOVE spot and stalk. Makes me feel alive.

If you are doing that I'd say why do you want to join a club.....

Dang what ponds are you jumping lol. I've seen greenheads on ponds but there's like 2 of em and then they split to the deep end. I suck at jumping ducks.

I’m thinking it’s all just beginners luck. I’ve got the itch though now so next year I’ll definitely make more time for this. Never really got into it but it’s really fun. I obviously didn’t get all these on my own but at least half of them. Where I grew up in North Carolina, waterfowl hunting was a cult I never joined. Now I get it.

Figured a club or at least get in some of the public lakes in a blind. This was fun but a lot of driving. I’d like to see what all this decoy and calling stuff is about. Plus my dog loves retrieving and I’d like to get her dialed in with a more controlled environment.

Chris,

It's definitely an obsession....I didn't start "real" duck hunting until I was 22....Now at 75....I still can't get enough of it and hunting with a dog is even better.........

as with most things duck hunting is a deep pool, lots to do and explore. The driving thing is hard to get away from. Takes me 4.5hrs to get to the LCRA aka plaster city
Don't give up on the public land duck hunting. This year is good with all the water around but there are LOTS of places even in the dry years to duck hunt that are not wister, SanJac or a club.

Fridays view was worth a million bucks

The views are always spectacular.........Yesterday........
