Been in SD since yesterday. Got my first taste of nest searching today.
You talk about Gods country. It is beautiful up here. And ducks everywhere. We flushed 5 mallards today but only found 2 nests(one with 7 eggs and one with 10 eggs). They say it's still early so hopefully it will pick up. On average the last 2 years, they have found 500 nests at our searching sites.
Lots of rain the last few days and supposed to get some more this weekend. I am at Goebel ranch. You can go to ducks.org and search the ranch and read about it. Sounds like it is gonna be a wonderful summer. I'll keep ya'll informed and hopefully find me a scanner to put some pics on here before August.

Please post some pics! I am eager to hear a report from the front lines via our embedded forum member!

Keep us posted, here is the link on DU site for Gobel Ranch.

you wanna do the world of waterfowling a really good deed? we need to get up a group of guys and go up to the tundra and stomp snow goose eggs, that's the only way to control the population on those mothers. It'll be fun, a good ole fashioned "egg stompin", hell we can even throw in some beer a cookout and a tundra skeet shoot.

Bluesky, you gonna stick around and make sure they don't mate again.

You really need a truck full of shells and beer and one brave soul to throw and several others to shoot eggs.

You supply the beer and the shells and Ill Supply the truck and I know I can find some "brave soul" around here somewhere.

Good to hear from ya. Hope you are enjoying everything up there. When you coming back? Just to let you know I will be in Starkvegas next year too. Let me know something.
