I'd need a lot more birds to justify that trip.
We had two guys kill 136 ducks in two hours in Nicaragua.

Great hunt! I'm starting to plan a hunt in Canada. I can't wait!

Was this one of those ducks landing on dry ground deals? Blows my mind every time I see that.

Yes, click on the link in the original post, you will see them landing on a dry pea field. It's worth the trip in itself when they start landing ON your finisher blind.

I've killed them in Texas on dry fields the last few years from time to time. Also, dry field duck hunting in the peanut fields of Oklahoma seems to be underrated. Mojo ducks are unstoppable on dry fields.

Tiger Dog, I have hunted them in the peanut fields in the panhandle, that is VERY underrated. While the honkers are the lesser not the greaters it's still a kick.

Actually you could probably say that about a good bit of the central flyway, especially with a 5 mallard limit. Always wanted to do Canada, bunch of buddies go all the time. I'll make it soon. Nice looking trip.

How do ducks get to the peanuts?
Posted on 11/1/13 at 2:15 pm to AlxTgr
I've always wondered how ducks eat pecans, but I've killed wood ducks with them inside their craws several times. Really not sure on the mechanics of it but I'm assuming they digest them somehow because the hunting is good over peanut fields. The fields we have killed them on in North Texas the last few years have been dried soybeans. Not sure what drives them to feed there, but often they will come in only in the evenings to feed there. Very strange to see that in the South.

Yeah, I have removed many a pecan from squealers. Are the peanuts laying on the ground, or do the ducks dig?
Posted on 11/1/13 at 2:24 pm to AlxTgr
The last time I hunted one there were scattered peanuts on the surface and buried just below the surface that were waste, much like a sweet potato field. Like any field I'm sure fresh rain uncovers more and draws ducks in. The dirt was loose and freshly plowed after harvesting so it would be just like mallards up north digging in snow to find them I would guess. The whole dry field thing makes me wonder if this is a new phenomenon with no-till farming or if this always took place in the northern states. Combine that with less rice in South TX and South LA and it makes sense why less mallards travel all the way down.

That is to each their own. I have traveled to Agrentina and Mexico to shoot waterfowl. There is nothing like killing 100 ducks/person per day. However it isn't green heads and giant honkers. There is a difference for me.
Also there is the cost. That trip cost me under $1400 a trip to south America to shoot ducks is upwards of 5K with airfare. We killed limits all days in under 30 minutes it's hard to beat that anywhere.

Hammer, could you provide a link or contact for outfitter or did you freelance? Doing this hunt in 2014 and would like a referral by someone who has been to one they can recommend. Thanks.
