Title: First duck hunt of the year
Post by: riverboss on December 15, 2013, 06:54:22 PM
2 friends and I went out sat for the first hunt of the year on the Ohio river, and had a heck of a shoot! . We saw lots of birds and managed to kill 9 mallards and one fish eater.  We lost 3 more to a barge because of motor problems :madd: and had to call it. That would of gave us a 3 man limit of puddle ducks. All of these birds were called in and killed with North Bay calls  that we bought last year, Thanks Steve for making such a great duck call :yoyo: The sound is amazing.

Nice hunt Dan...I love it when I hear good things about the calls. If you have any pics you can e-mail with the call in it send it up and I'll get it put up on the NB website...well, when I get back that is. Heading down to Chesapeake Bay to hunt for some ducks for a few days. Hopefully we find some birds down there this year. Nice going on that hunt!

Steve

Sounds, and looks like a fun day - except for the motor problems.

Looks like you guys had a blast. I always wanted to get into waterfowl hunting, I bought the tags and federal stamp this year, but have not found a good place to hunt. I live a mile from the Susquehanna River, but have heard the river is very crowded during the waterfowl season.  I would rather not go out as a rookie and ruin someone's hunt in a crowded area.

Question- Were you guys hunting from shore or in a boat? Did you have a dog to retrieve the birds?

Thanks Jim! Dave it was a blast we don't get days with birds like that anymore. Red law we used a boat and retrieved the ducks our selves I would try hooking up with someone at a DU banquet, there are always guys looking for hunting partners.
