[SledNeck]

Nice blue!

Sledneck, do you see the C at the bottom of that picture you posted?

I try to arrange them in a "j" formation, but Im not very picky when hunting ponds

Ended up getting my limit this morning. First one of the year, finally. Ended up with 3 gadwalls, 1 mallard, 1 redhead and a hooded merganser. One of the heads came off and had to white out the blood. There still didn't seem to be many ducks around, about the same as it has been. I was just set up in the right place this time. I'll try and post this pic first time trying it.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, you did great fritz so congratulations, especially on a day that hit 70 in November, but Mergansers have a separate bag limit (5).

Nice mixed bag of birds.

I actually just realized that also, thanks. No biggie, I wasn't going to sit out there any longer or else I would have missed the vikes.

Quack- it looks like you got some greenhead gear canada floaters out there, my buddy has some and he has problems with water geting in them(they arnt shot), which makes them much heavier to haul. Have you had this same problem??

[Quackaddict9]

no problems at all, I've had GHG goose floaters for 3 years and no leaks or anything. Maybe your friend has some kind of leakage in the keel on the back part, maybe patch it up or find where the water is coming out of and then thats probably where its leaking.

[SledNeck]

Quack, do you get permission to hunt fields or do you own those? I know someone going to school in Bemidji and I'd like to go out there next year and try my hand, just dont have any idea where to start.

Here's some pics from a mallard shoot I had last thursday not too far from Quackaddict's neck of the woods. The 8 of us filled out on mallards within 45 minutes. Not to mention a bonus blackduck and a piece of jewelery on one of the mallys.

The Crew with the morning's bounty.

Pile O' Mallards.

Two pleasant suprises.

[Matt Breuer]

I'm pretty sure Quack hunts NW of Bemidji, like 1.5-2 hours NW...

[Quackaddict9]

That blackduck is a Beauty!!! Good job laying the smackdown on these mallards. Not too sure if that was close to where I was hunting.

Sled- We usually hunt our own land and get permission. Same fields for the last 4-5 years.

[fishlakeman]

The birds were shot somewhat near bemidji. Forgive me for not posting exactly where, but I don't like to give exact locations.

[Quackaddict9]

Shot our two man limit of geese, Mallards and a couple Pintails with a bonus Bluebill that was kinda rare seeing out there. Deer Huntin' this weekend, hopefully get out again later in the week.
