Used to pond jump ducks when I was a kid growing up in central nebraska-don't know how many times I would be sneaking through the cattails in an inch or so of water and scare up roosters. Decided to I just as well take both while I was out so even if I didn't see ducks on the water I would still wade into the edge of the water and work the reeds back and forth. Don't remember ever coming home without a rooster in the bag even on days when the ducks didn't cooperate.
