Duck Hunting Anyone?

This is the post I have been waiting to write since I left on Thursday. The way this was supposed to go was me telling you about gaggles of ducks and limits of snows. I had planned the perfect picture of limits of ducks and geese stretched across the tailgate with a group of radical duck hunters.

I have always loved duck hunting in foul weather. The colder the better! I have a new perspective now. We arrived in MO to the coldest air of the year. I can tell you first hand what happens when it turns off in the single digits on flooded rice and corn....it FREEZES! I never paid any attention to the weather. I was sure that there was not going to be any ice that our 4 wheeler wouldn't break through. The picture is of 4 hours worth of busting ice. I have a new perspective on that too. You could have played the finals of the NHL on this field.

Thats hunting. We had a great time even though I never loaded my gun. There was not a duck left in all of Kinnette, Missouri. We never even saw any local birds outside of the ones that live on the conservation project and that was limited too. The ducks just decided on Thursday to fly away. If you are deciding to go duck hunting, go to MO. Now that we are home, there should be record numbers show back up on the thawed rice and corn.
