Keep posting away Nick! I personally enjoy reading your family hunting and cooking adventures. With your late season rut it extends our reading enjoyment.
Hunter and his buddy Josh made a late hunt on the river by the camp. They killed 5 mallards, 2 wood ducks, 1 ringnecks and 3 greenwings teal.
He called me to say find my balls and come on up to duck hunt. Dj getting off work in the morning but roads are iced up good a couple hours north of me. All depends if the major Mississippi River bridge is open or not. It’s just getting colder each day so who knows.
Actually he cleans most of the game. He used to assist me, now I assist him half the time. Only thing he don’t like to do is pluck ducks. I even have a duck plucker!
Hunter hunted the river but water too high now. Went to property and look 80 birds out the unfrozen portion of pond. Did a quick setup around noon. Killed his limit in an hour.
