Who could be bored with this many ducks to clean!
Awesome site, MSB! A bunch of nannies right now, but nannies are fun, especially if you get mad at 'em!

Watched geese landing in the south end of my hole until I just couldn't stand it. Figured I'd mosey on down and get 'em when they came back. Guess what.... no open water! They were landing on ice! Walked up on one that I thought was frozen in. Got about 15 yds away, put my gun down, picked up a ...

I agree on the dynamite, but to do it correctly, you need to break a small hole in the ice, and slide it under. That way, more fish don't survive, and if you don't get any ducks, at least you won't go hungry!

Where is Brazil? I understand there is a place called that in South America, but the commute is a tough one!

Jack Frost,

I'm south of Greenville, but they tell me there is some good hunting at a place called Askew (spelling?) somewhere around Batesville, by the sound of it. And it's public. Places around Greenville that I'd recommend are Leroy Percy State Park, the MS river (access at the lakefront ...

I'm from Greenville, MS, and recently had the pleasure of meeting several groups of hunters from SC. They were nice guys. Either I didn't meet Massa Bates, or he changed his opinion of MS. Either way, Mr. Bates, just don't come back! There'll be more birds for me next year!

As for the "Ol' Man ...

I think it has to do with a "roost". Ducks, and other birds I guess, go to roost right before dark. Although, I think my father used to hunt right up until you couldn't see your hand in front of your face!

Corn is illegal ??? Hmmmm... Guess I'm not going hunting in the morning! Seriously, though, I'm in the delta, about 10 miles south of Greenville, and there just ain't no ducks!!! I have one good "honey-hole", but it's nothing this year. I've killed about 10 shovelers, gadwalls, and teal this year ...

Hey Timber,

What color shirt do you figure he'll be wearing tomorrow? Dang! I sure don't wanna get on YOUR bad side!

Are your ponds covered in ducks? I'll be there in an hour!

On the other hand:
If that Doctor or Lawyer or Businessman or Fool that Hit It Big at the Casino buys up all of that property PURELY for hunting and recreation, he will enroll all that he can into WRP, and draw the one time paynemt. The gov't (you and me and every body else that PAYS TAXES ...

Hey Sondance,

I'm the guy that talked to you on the road between the ponds this morning. I went and checked on my river area today, and I need less water and more birds! Not hunting in am, but probably somewhere tomorrow pm. Good Luck to y'all!

Thanks, MH. Gonna go try timber tomorrow pm I think. Have to finish a stand for my dog in the am. Are you having any luck where you are? I saw some guys from Indiana down here today, and they were desperate for some birds! SO AM I!!

11 to 1 drake to hen? That sounds kinda strong? I don't know.... Thanks for the help.

I hunt with about 20 dekes, mostly mallards, but with a few teal that belong to my cousin and he left in my spread. 2 Quiver magnets and 1 Lucky Duck (this am will be it's first trip! Am off now!
