Wood ducks taste very good. Not alot of meat though, small Duck. I almost had a shot at a nice 8pt yesterday. I heard a crashing on the top of the hill and here comes a doe runing down the hill. She stops 15 yards from my stand with a small 6pt in tow. Then a small 4pt joins the party. The next thing you know a shooter 8pt comes charging down the hill with his rack to the ground and charges at the two bucks with the Doe. The 8pt is standing broadside 20yards from my stand BUT!! he's behind a big blowdown[:@]. The Doe makes a right turn and ofcourse the 8pt stays with her! No shot[
]I used my grunt tube with no luck, Oh well. I did grunt 2 small bucks a 4pt and a 5pt a hour later. They walked right under my stand. Man that is so cool when your that close to a Buck and that don't know your there
It was a great hunt!!! It looks like the hot weather is back here in PA[:@]I can't wait for that week off I have in November. The weather should be alot better then with the rut kicking in too! Be safe!!!
