Yesterday was the best wood duck hunt of my life. My dad owns a gravel pit in central minnesota. There is several ponds out there. Usually we have 10, 15, or even 20 wood ducks out there on a good year. But this year it wasw crazy. On saturday after the morning goose hunt on a harvested bean field we went out tho the pit to see if there were any ducks out there as we drive in there isnt any thing in the big pond. So we cruise back to the other pond witch is actually a wide spot in the river and there were like 10 or so in there then all of a sudden i hear the whistling of there wings as the fly over i bet there were 70 birds that flew over. So im all sorts of triger happy, and decide to wait till tomorow. Later on that day we set ALL of out duck dekes. 20 wood ducks some pin tail and like 80 mallards. So i got to bed jittery as all get down! we get5 up in the morning and head out there. We get out there and i realize my gun is at home. So i run home and i get it. when i get back all the shooting is done. But we get 4 more flocks to come in. it was a hoot we end up with 12 woodys and 2 teal. 10 drakes 2 really pretty birds and 2 hens.
woody galore!!
