Duck Hunting 2011 - The Good Old Day's

Sunrise over a frozen Goose Pond.

Sometimes you have to break a little ice.

From soybean field to waterfowl hunting playground in two years.

The most memorable moment was when a flock of mallards came into land with no hesitation. Wow!

2011 Season: 57 ducks and 13 geese.
Thank you to my hunting buddies.
It was fun! Not soon to be forgotten!

Please forward to me your best duck recipes.

Happy Holiday's!
