Title: some greenheads
Post by: BigB on November 18, 2009, 06:08:47 PM

It's been raining a bunch around here, and lots of areas are flooded. We took advantage of a flooded area this morning.

here was our setup. The picture was facing downwind. There are woods behind us, and a mowed strip of grass between the woods and a strip of willow trees. When it floods, there is a stream of water that connects the woods to the willow strip right where the decoys are. I saw some mallards in this stream a few weeks ago, so decided to set the dekes there. With the water flowing, the decoys had some good motion.

The birds would fly over us, and with a little bit of calling, swing around and land on either side of the decoys. It worked perfect. Everything worked just like it was supposed to all morning.

Nice brace of greenheads Brian...you gotta love it when a plan comes together like that. Good to see another duck hunter on here too...maybe if we get some more we can petition Jim to change the name to Fins - Feathers and Fur Forums...Or maybe not, that doesn't seem to have a ring to it.

I've made a few acrylic calls so far. The top call is the one pictured with the mallards.

One of the things I miss about living in the desert is the duck/goose hunting. Although we do have them you have to drive from stock pond to stock pond to find them and hope that some other hunter isn't just a few minutes ahead of you. Nice looking mallards, we have mexican brown ducks here that look almost like a hen mallard.
