That is very cool. Are the honkers coming in despite the mojos? Ours tend to avoid duck spreads up here.

Nice hunts.
What was that whistling stuff going on in the videos?

Haha. Gotcha. I'm not trying to be an ass at all, becuase y'all kill plenty of birds, but that video is proof positive that duck calling doesn't necessarily kill birds...location does. I didn't hear a single thing in there that sounded anything like a duck, but dang if y'all didn't hammer them. You've had some dang nice hunts this year. Congrats.

Traps trophy pic from last evenings hunt. Cropped it. Good bye 2013, it was a fantastic year watching my boy grow and mature. Hello 2014, with Gods blessing it will be a wonderful year, with many more awesome experiences with Trap.

Thanks. Least we know who got the brains and looks between Trap and I! Shot 1 goose this morning to end 2013 with a bang! Big flock flew low over the truck while we were sitting in the fields scouting. Couldn't resist stepping out!

Yeah, I do! Been watching geese land in a huge cornfield lately, and interestingly, land near an old meter house of a plugged gas well. Thought about a blind in the weeds, but since they are used to the meter house, decided to sit in it and see what happens. Set some full body dekes out to the side so when geese would deke, they would go behind the side wall, and I could stand up, and poke out the door without being seen. Trap figured out what I was doing pretty quick, and sat behind the wall and just stuck his head out to watch/mark falling geese. Out ta sight in the corner! Lots of geese came in. Didn't take long to get our limit. Trap is really figuring out this hunting stuff.

Well guys, today is the last day Trap and I had to hunt. Season ends tomorrow. Was a fantastic season, with a grand total of 206 ducks and 90 geese. Had a friend hunt the last 3 days and we didn't do too well. Such is hunting. Traps last 2 retrieves were on a canvasback, and a drake, green winged teal. (Not pictured, nor 3 geese)

Going over some pics from this week. Trap laying next to my layout blind, covered in corn. A beautiful morning, looking over the dekes.
