RE: Hunting in ice
First make sure the ducks/geese are still around and want to come into that pond. If not, what's the use?
I went scouting today and have decided to hunt the Pack River. All my favorite ponds and pot holes are frozen over too. I found a gazillion ducks/geese on the Pend Oreille river but no boat launch for several miles.
Good luck!
