Decoys, Calling, a Kitchen and a Lost Duck

Don’t call too much to the ducks. Many times, a duck hunter is much like a turkey hunter. When he or she buys a call, he feels like he ought to be using it a lot. The real secret, if there is one, is to believe in your decoy spread. Believe that your spread will pull the ducks into gun range.

What Makes A Good Wintering Area for Deer?

Because of continuing to add to the whitetail appeal of the property, it’s only gotten better. In fact, now we actually have numbers continually increase into the winter months.

Duck Hunting in a Floating Duck Blind

Our duck blind is a work of art. We’ve taken plywood panels and mounted them to the base of an old pontoon boat. We can shoot seven hunters out of this blind. But most of the time, we only hunt five, because the blind is much more comfortable with only five hunters in it.

Decoying Ducks Properly is Key to Successful Duck Hunting

Primarily, we use our calling to get the ducks’ attention and cause them to look at our decoys. We've learned that if our decoy spread is set up right, and we get the ducks’ attention with some fairly-loud calling, the ducks will usually come down.

Property Lines and Borders are an Integral Part of Management

Trespassing is a major problem that can impact the value of your property, can limit your enjoyment of your place and can even pose a threat to the safety of those who hunt and use your land.

Opening Day Duck Hunting on the Mississippi Flyway

I hunt just off the Mississippi River on private land. On Thanksgiving weekend, 2017, we saw mallard, ring-necked duck, teal, gadwall and pintail ducks. We spotted over 100 flights of ducks coming down the Mississippi River from the North. We were able to work about 20 different flights each day into our decoys.
