Got up at 2 am. Went duck hunting with my buddy Steve. He killed a hen woodie.

End of story.....

We saw a lot up birds but they were flying high and did not want anything to do with our set.

Water was very low. Hunted out of the boat blind, no dog just Steve ;>)

2am is nutzzzz!  That would wipe me out for two days lately!

 

Back in 1991 I had a great spot in PA that had a few adult gobblers gave me a slip the first day of the season.  I went back twice and didn't drive down the night before, choosing to get on the road by 2am.  It was a 2.5+ hour ride and being only 30 years old could still manage it. 

 

Today?  No way is that happening....... :)

 

 

PS.......I killed a dandy the second early morning trip down!

Agreed........Today was a 4am riser for me. I left home around 4:45 and was in the tree by 6:45. No action other than two near misses on with the Tacoma, UGGH.

On a brighter note, I checked the marsh I'll be hunting next Saturday and it held more ducks than I've ever seen there. Better than 50 ducks, 20 of which were woodies. Some mallards, scaup and unknowns were in the mix too. What a sight to see! Lord knows if they'll be there next Saturday but it should be fine regardless.

      Waterfowl lease??
      By Dylan
      Does anyone know of any waterfowl leases for 2018/19 season in dutchess or Columbia county ny? Or have any property they would be willing to allow two responsible hunters to hunt on? Not really looking for deer property might think of a deer/waterfowl lease depending on the property. Also interested in property for turkeys this spring.

      Carters Pond
      By scolopaxmatt
      Just wanted to say thanks to all who helped make Carters Pond the waterfowl wasteland it always is after opening weekend.  Not so much as a feather to be found amid the rafts of shells and wads.  We do ourselves proud by busting the roost and laying waste to every wood duck we see.

      Looking for LI Hunting Info/Hunters
      By brendanw66
      Hello all,
      My buddy and I are midshipmen at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, Long Island.  We're both avid duck hunters back home (Louisiana, Florida), but we would like to do some hunting this season up here in Long Island while we're at school. 
      We're looking for any information on good places to hunt on the island, we don't mind driving, or anyone that's willing to allow us to tag along for a hunt.  We have our licenses, guns, camo, and a few dozen decoys up here with us. 
      Heard Suffolk County runs some public land with duck blinds, anyone have experience with that?  Thanks for any information.

      Browning Maxus For Sale
      By John_K
      Im selling my Browning Maxus. I bought it 3 years ago and only had it out the first season I owned it. It has only been in the field 3 times as reflected by the attached pictures. It was cleaned after every use, and is in terrific condition. It is 12 Gauge, 28" Barrel Waterfowl edition. I have the original box, all chokes and choke tool, and pieces for stock adjustment. It is easily as good as any new gun you would buy. Asking $1100. I am located in the Albany area. Email offers to [email protected]  Thanks for the interest.
