absolutely. I generally drop down to 6-10 decoys in mid to late Jan. I have started using a jerk string to get motion in the spread, seems to help some.

A friend of mine and I finally got on a few ducks this Sat. 2 Hollywoods, 2 Gads, and 1 hen redhead.

Well, we closed out the season yesterday. Hunted Fri, Sat, and Sun only to bag 2 birds. Considering the drought and extremely mild winter it was a pretty good season overall.

Final Tally:

Blue Wing Teal: 18
Gadwall: 13
Green Wing Teal: 12
Shoveler: 7
Pintail: 5
Wigeon: 5
Mottled: 2
Redhead: 1
Mallard: 1
Cinnamon Teal: 1

Total: 65

The most coveted duck in this flyway...........



Spoonies!!! :lol:

Post season withdrawals are killing me. Last Sat I got up at 330am and started putting on camo before I actaully woke up and realized I couldn't go hunt. 4 times this week I dreamt about duck hunting. I'm ate up!

I need to go skeet shooting, dog training is keeping me pretty busy. Just built a force fetch table for myself.

I shot in a sporting clay tournament Sat. It was put on by the LSU Houston Alumni Association. Really fun event, and I got to meet Terrance Tolliver and Brandon Lafell. I picked up a LSU mini helmet with Stevan Ridley's signature on it in a silent auction, which I immediately asked Tolliver and Lafell to sign....they obliged and I was one very happy camper!
