Today is the second to the last day of the duck season. I decided to try something different today, and it was not too successful. I was hoping for some opportunities for some geese and maybe a bonus duck or two. The conditions were perfect; most of the lake was frozen over with open water just at the lake inlet.
The only ducks we got were two cripples that were slowly getting iced in. We did see approximately twenty-five mallards in total. We did miss out on a nice drake mallard that we did not see land in our decoys. The geese were non-existant. We only saw a total of two.
