I came across this on Facebook and thought it was pretty cool so I figured I share. Its a video from 1965 of Claypool Reservior in Arkansas.

My god. From about 2:20 on through the rest of the video, it's just incredible.

We have that print at our camp. Pretty amazing footage. That's about 15 miles south of me.

OBC had put out some decoy long lines and a couple dozen coke bottles that he had painted black.

Was actually filmed on Toledo Bend in 1969, I still receive royalties for the prints

Not sure if plugs were required then but at about the 2:35 mark someone didnt have one.

For the first live broadcast on ABC's Wide World of Sports. No shite. It was a major undertaking at the time and then trying to get that many ducks to act right in front of the camera.

Wow!
My dad talks about duck hunting and seeing clouds of ducks but I've never quite imagined what that would look like. I think this video gives me a pretty good idea about what my dad was describing.

I noticed that. I wish they would have shown how many they killed

I wonder if that is what DU's heated ponds full of rice in North Dakota look like in January

Search my post, I put the story about it on here a couple months back.

I've hunted the fields bordering claypool a few times. Watching the ducks pouring out of that place in the evening as shooting hours closed was quite a sight.

That's probably the most ducks ever put in front of a camera ever, so unless your pops was at Claypool's that day, he probably wasn't describing that many ducks. I think I heard it took weeks of baiting to get them all bunched up like that just to get in front of a live TV camera and rough estimates of the birds there were over 1 million.
