I used to be a big duck/goose hunter but due to losing access to a lot of properties and work and kid responsibilities I hadn't bee n duck hunting for probably 15 years.
I had a co-worker ask me to go yesterday and we went to one of the old places I used to hunt. It is a very small waterhole in the middle of a field. It is small enough that you could shoot all the way across it. There is a few small trees and some scrub brush surrounding it along with some tall grasses.
We got out there and tossed out just a few decoys. The ducks started flying in even before it was light enough to shoot. Once it got light enough to start shooting, it was very obvious that it had been a looong time since I'd tried to shoot flying ducks.
The shooting improved and the ducks were thick. We ended up shooting our limit of Woodies in less than an hour and a half.
It really gave me the itch back. I'd forgotten how much I liked that kind of hunting.

Got to love the colors on a drake Woodie.
