South Zone variety today

Focused again too much on deer hunting this year. Had planned a vacation day Friday to duck hunt to catch a spot that is great when it's iced up. But the forecast forced me to try it today instead before the thaw. One golden eye (a first for me), a black duck next, then three Mallards, one drake, and finally a bufflehead. Managed one goose too.  (Might post pics later). Saw some ring necks and merganzers too. No wood ducks - in years past they were still at this spot in January.  Saw a couple otters as well.  Not bad for a canoeing trip hunt.

The canoe trips are almost always the best. Sometimes a little hairy but always memorable.

 

Gotta post a pic of that mixed bag canoe trip in the ice or I call BS!!!

Should have taken pic right after the shots. Lousy view when all scrunched up after sitting in bottom of canoe a while. Better pic next time.

Sounds like a really fun day Deadeye.  You're right about too much deer hunting, ever since they extended the deer seasons guys are spending all their time chasing deer.
