I know they are a trash duck but they are pretty cool looking when they are showing off for the ladies. Waited 3 hours this morning for some ducks and all that showed up were mergansers and ring necks.

I'm really hoping I can get a canvasback this year.

Canvasbacks are good eating if they haven’t hit the fish too hard.

We’ve been doing well on the Mallards in Madison County. Can probably get you out there one day if you’d like. Shot 9 limits yesterday morning and had another 40 or so sitting on the pond yesterday afternoon when I went to check.

Eta. Great pictures. Always impressed with your photos

Damn, that’s sounds better than the places in Arkansas my buddies hunt. You close to the refuge?

There is some shallow water. This goose was hiding in some.

Love the pics. I’ve always thought they were a really cool bird. Sometimes those mornings you wind up just sitting and enjoying the beauties nature sends your way make for the best “hunts.”

Happy Sunday
