Any waterfowl hunters here?

I have been trying to learn just not much luck. Something to do between deer season and fishing. I need to get more serious about it.

I use to do a good bit of it in the past, but Deer season is just too long and then there's Winter fishing. I got to hunt one day this year and had a limit of Mallards and Canadians by 10:30. It was my first try at setting up decoys on a pond. I'd been hearing Ducks and Geese use this pond all season. It was like they were teasing me while I was in my stand. A week or so after the late bow season ended, it was time to take revenge!

I do have to admit, it was pretty fun not having to load a boat, break ice or slog hundreds of yards in mud carting decoys in. I just parked at the landowners barn and walked about 150 yards or so to this big pond and set up. The only problem is that I only brought along Hevi-Shot 3 inch steel BB's thinking they would work on Ducks. It didn't turn out like that, I guess there were too few pellets to get a good pattern (Carlson's modified choke). Took way more shells than it should have to get a limit. But they were deadly on the Geese!

[crappie crazy]

I would be what you call a full blown addict during duck season you would be hard pressed to track me down ,, i hunt anywhere i can,, from 10 foot wide runnin creeks when everything is locked up to the big water ,ponds ,fields anywhere i think i got a chance at gettin our limits for the day

[Big George]

Everything I hunt is mostly private land along and around 412 to Verdigris river bottoms between Coweta and Wagoner

Waterfowl hunting the 'other' addiction. Used to be a time when the fall flight would keep me up at night, wondering how many of them were sticking around. Laughing at me in my sleep, so when you hit the water you were already sleep deprived. Then I was in an accident and received a TBI which totally screwed my vision up. Used to be a shooter, now I'm a pooter. Had to give it up, now I've passed the addiction on to my oldest son, and since he was my bird-dog he had none. Now come Sun night I watch 2 souls drag their dead butts home, my son and his dog. Natural born killers them two, and I have NO REGRETS, just don't tell my son I said that. I think his group shot around 30 banded birds this year, I kid him a lot about hunting in the park, not really. I just found out this past week, that one of my last ducks I shot (3yrs ago) was a black duck. I thought it was a mallard with late summer plummage still. I've seen the waterfowl hunting really grow in leaps and bounds this past decade, used to a handful at the lake, now that's per parking area. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane guys, hope I didn't bore you to death.

Must be one hell of a flyway to kill 30 banded ducks we are lucky to kill 2 or 3 a year this year had some honkys come in and killed 2 both were banded that was a treat
