hell yeah!!! A buddy of mine has a speck,snow,blue and lesser canadian in a dead mount. Looks awesome!!!!!

Yeah, I'm going to add birds over the next couple years.

My very first duck was a wood duck drake... BANDED!!!!!!

one of them widgeon that lit in the pond the other day would've looked awesome.

That was my first too. Not banded though.

better than mine it was a hooded merganser, then after that i killed a spoonie. The merganser i got mounted

was gonna mount the drake but lost it due to ice storm... lost tons of meat and that mount. soo i took the band off.

I killed a juvy speck one time with a neck and both legs banded. Took off the bands to kill a barred up one and lost all the bands talk about make you sick

omg i would;ve shat myself. havent killed a banded one since my very first duck... omen???

I love november for deer hunting too. Every year like clockwork we see some nice bucks around thanksgiving time,can't wait!

ahhhhhh a duck hunting thread ruined by tree loungers.... just kiddin man. not a fan but to each his own.

Haha I knew that was coming. Have you ever killed a deer with a bow? If not I understand why your not a fan. I like to duck and goose hunt but nothing like the adrenaline rush shooting a deer with a bow.

Lol... tree loungers

My first was a merganser too and it's on the wall also. That hunt will be etched in my memory forever. Many birds feel at the end of that ol single shot 20.

I love the atmosphere and commradery(sp?) of duck hunting. deer hunting is fun but not for me. I love bow hunting though.

I hear ya,I just can't see spending thousands of dollars a year to duck hunt. I usually make 2 or 3 goose hunts a year. I really like blasting those specks,they sure taste good too.

yep it gets pricey if you arent lucky enough to have someone in your family with a spot... i am one of those unfortunates. hunting reserves can save you some money but the aggravation is a trade off.

Yeah man I hunted the wax a few times and that is not for me. I can handle potlickers fishing but not drunk cajuns with guns thinking they can hunt on top of you.

haha I know the feeling. used to hunt sabine and faster boats would pass me 5 feet away heading down a small canal (scary feeling) .... many times i got sprayed by late comers who would set up 300 or less yards away from us.

Banded ducks are a touchy subject with me.. just ask shawn braquet on the story...

BTW going to buy a riceland call soon!!!!!!!! cluck cluck

great speck calls!!!!! I've duck hunted many of times in sabine and we used to work harder than anybody else out there i think. We would hunt way in the back where the only way back there was to walk. Hunted a real nice size pond most of the time, but had a spot surrounded by potholes and on clear cold days we would limit out on mallards.

i dont know if you worked harder than me lol.... my johnson 25 hp would stick and not trim up.... there were many times i had to push that thing 100 yards or soo just to get it into deep enough water to plane. NO DOG.

I dont know how I missed this thread but I just read the whole thing and I'm PUMPED!!!! I will have to live on your reports for a week till we open in the east zone though:cry:

Where you hunting this year?

same place I hunted teal season...near ville platte. the funny thing is Im only a couple of miles from the west zone

we would park and walk at least 200 yards to where this pond was no way to get there by boat. Carrying decoys, robo ducks, guns, shell bags. And afterwards 18-24 ducks beat that. This is why i feel so blessed to have the place i hunt now. Ask micha no waders you can wear tennie shoes i pull right up to the blind you step out the boat in the blind it's gravy hunting.

i will keep your heart pumping the first week with reports and pictures. Got you covered ole chap.

Rice ponds?

yep

yep.... we could compare sabine stories all day long. glad thats in the past lol. your place sounds sweet. good luck on opening day. pics or it didnt happen

Cool....that is a good area,when I go to the deer lease I always see the ponds off the interstate loaded up with geese and ducks.

DGG... next time you and micah hang out yall need to give me a holla soo we can meet.

READY
 

So ready to bustem up

will do! In fact i'm gonna do one better me, you and micha's gonna make a hunt at my place. You in?

that's what i'm talking about!!!!! That's a nice looking marsh where ya'll hunt?

count me in!!!!

i bet we could, and no doubt i don't miss that at all.

i'll get a date and we'll set it up.

Glad we got some more people in here now. Shoot em in the face!!!

yeah just hit me up... told micah i could take off a few days here and there for duck season.

That'll work
