I am hunting waterfowl this weekend. Course I don't get to carry a shotgun but my 12 year old daughter gets to hunt the youth season!!!

I hope we have a limit of ducks to show you guys on Monday.

[MarvB]

Did somebody say DUCK SEASON?????

Wake me up when ya need somethin'.......

 

[smalls]

Awesome pick Marv!

I will be whackin' and stackin' again this weekend. Big nodak hunting get-together.

I can't wait for greenies and sprigs!

 

[Elkhunter]

Marv, that is just plain funny.

 

[MarvB]

Thanks guys...that was my Chessie before last.
He was a retrieving fool when there were birds on the water but slept like a teenager when things were slow. He would snap to attention when he heard me pop the saftey on my Beretta, bail into the most ball shrinking water you could think of, bring back the bird, and go back to sleep

 

[Moosie]

"sprigs" ... ?!?! Help a novice out bud.

Awesome dog you got there. We rely on Waders

Gunner.... When is our Date on Sunday ? Shall I meet you with the Film crew at your Trailer park ?!?!

 

[smalls]

Moosie, a "sprig" is a drake pintail. We usually get quite a few in with the early mallards.

I might have to hit the river to get me a woodie too this weekend. I have credit for a waterfowl mount at the local taxidermist and I have my heart set on a full plumage wood duck. I need to do some glassing first though to make sure they are full of color, still pretty early in the season.

 

[Moosie]

So... whens the best time for Me to Fly over there and Shot me a Nice Pintail ?

 

[smalls]

My crystal ball says October 8. Smorgasbord of waterfowl then. I've even heard reports of snows trickling in.

 

[MarvB]

Moosie...same as a chocolate head!

might have to hit the river to get me a woodie

Moosie only thinks you get woodies from big sheep and spike elk....

 

[smalls]

We have a ton of them around our farm. Had them land in the honk dekes by the hundreds during early season.

 

[Moosie]

Oct it is then... SHoot me your # real quick.....

[Wally Dog]

Why not, Minot?

 

[mtmiller]

Moosie, if you want a good sprig, go south. Color and tails are pretty poor while they are in this part of the country.

 

[mtmiller]

Here is a shot of one taken Nov 9 of last year.

Here is another one from October.

Color is not great and short tails.

By the third week of the season, we usually start getting some pretty nice ones. Both that greenie and the pintail look immature in that pic. We're they juvy birds? My sis has one mounted that she took second weekend of the season 3 years ago and it's a beauty.
