Congrats to ya!!!!

Can't blame you for getting the Wood Duck mounted, IMO they are the prettiest duck out there.

A small creek runs through my property and we see a few Woodies from time to time, I plan on putting up some nesting boxes this spring. I don't duck hunt myself but it might help you guys out, lol.

With an afternoon like that, you should have went on down to Vegas.

yea...I hear ya....I was going to buy some lottery tickets...but of course...I was too tired to go anywhere....

I'm off to upstate NY tonight for the goose opener tomorrow....the plan is to smash some mallards and geese in some corn fields up there.....

Nice! Gotta love those woodies, they are pretty. I'm hoping to get up to Currituck NC before to long and see how things look this year. It's been kinda slow over the last few years (only 5-10 kills per hunt). You can usually get a pretty good mixed bag though vs. inland hunting (teal, pintail, black duck and mallards).

yea...go give it a try......hell...one duck can make the whole hunt.....the way you called it in...or the way it locked up and pitched right into the decoys....or a nice retrieve by your dog....that's all it takes to make a great hunt....

its all about the heartbeat...not goose meat...or duck meat
