I hate the draw....
 

So....went duck hunting for the first time this weekend....or did I. Woke up at 2 in the morning to make the 4o'clock draw. Didn't get the draw. We were 11 and they only took 8. So we said whatever we will try tomorrow. Went back and drew a 9 the next day.....The last guy to draw took the last spot and we got beat out......Oh well.....It's not like this is the only weekend I have off in duck season....It is one of 2.

Ive done that many times, dont let it get you down

What conservation area did you go to?

RE: I hate the draw....
 

Marias Temps Caire. They were on fire too. Averaging 4.5 ducks a person. Oh well....try again in 2 weeks. We went to Dresser Island deer hunting after we didnt get the draw so it all kinda worked out.

Hell yalls draw sounds better than ours! Our draws require a $50 deposit to SCDNR by October 24 befor the season. You can choose your dates, and the wma's you prefer, but the pickier you get, the less likely youll be drawn. Our spots are surprisingly good: the lowest duck/hunter average is 2.8, while the highest duck/hunter average is 5.6! You'll get some surprising species on draw hunts: wigeon, ruddy ducks, even the occasional oldsquaw. But the one duck everyone hopes for is a Pintail. I didn't get to put in an application this year... thats ok though. I know where the pintails are at! I don't need no friggin' draw hunt!!! :D
