Have you come close to meeting your pre-season expectations?

Just curious.

It hunting, not shooting, so its ok. Although, I do like the "shooting" part a lot.
So many ducks, so little time....

Best early season I can remember. It was backwards for my farm. Great early and died off after Christmas. Usually just the opposite. Been lots of limits. Best year since 06. I would say 3 rd best since 99 so far. If next 2 weeks good it could go to 2nd best. Mallards have been plentiful. I'm flooded out now and ducks have moved to fresh water.

No complaints here. As a matter of fact, the older I get, the more I enjoy all things duck hunting.

I'm trying to get over the flu, so that sucks! I can't complain other than that, we have had some pretty good hunts and a bunch of fun! My daughter killed her first duck, buddies son killed his first goose, took his first swim and made some great shots while hunting with me one day. Hope to be well by the weekend to give it one last go from Saturday through the following Sunday!
I am interested in purchasing duck calls that were made by Mike McLemore. I am a family member and they have a sentimental value.

What's duck hunting?



Because of six weeks working Nov.- Dec., I have not even been in a blind yet. Hope to go this weekend then it's back to work for 2 weeks. So I thought I would have at least a few hunts before Christmas.

Mediocre for me. Hot, cold, not much water, too much water. Not making excuses just everytime I figure em out all the variables change...completely. Should be one heck of a learning experience though. Years of situations all in one season. My best day so far was a 73 degree January special...go figure.
