When you say "spot and stalk" do you really mean pond hopping?

If so, then yes I have been known to jump a pond or two if I failed to get my limit with the deeks.

As for not enjoying setting up decoys, what is your premise behind this?

For me, I enjoy setting up a good decoy string and hitting the call to lure the ducks in. One of my favorite things to watch are ducks locked in heading my way, and I can't do that while pond hopping.I also love to watch my dogs' eyes when he seesthe ducks coming towards him. Itruly believe he loves duck hunting more than I do.
