I'm siting here going over the logs and pictures of the last five years and seeing the decline in birds taken. We did have some really memorable hunts, especially when the mid section was plowed a few yeas ago and we could get after the specks, but the ducks taken were very low that year.
This was a hunt with my son and daughter from five years ago, 2011-2012 season. This was our first year at our current location and the duck numbers stayed fairly steady in the area.
A hunt the from the following year with my son 2012-2013. We had a few good hunts this season.
This is 2013-2014. This was the season for the specks with low numbers of ducks taken.
2014-2015 This was our best hunt of the season. Good weather days with no birds. Farm mid section not dressed for success and a leaky blind.
It's really nice to look back at the hunts that made me smile and kept me coming back for more, especially with the way this season has treated us. I hope we get to finish this year with a little more cooperation from the fowl,but it's not looking good.
