Yesterday I walked up on a beaver pond with 12 mallard ducks sitting in there. They look like they got kicked out of the main river and made this there home. I've heard them the next morning, while sitting in my tree stand, quacking back there. I have a brown lab and she is a great pheasant dog. She is only 3 and can't wait to get a duck. My question is how do I aproach the pond? Do I come in before light and set up in a blind off to the side? I feel they will be sleeping right there. The area has no pressure as far as people go. I haven't hunted alot of ducks and i'm not sure how they will react. I would not think they would get up and fly before light. But even if they heard noise? It's a spot that you could only dream of coming up upon. I don't wan't to mess up the first hunt on the spot. Any help on how to come in on them would sure help.
