I split from the courthouse yesterday afternoon and changed clothes while I drove. The destination was a cut corn field along the Kansas River. Most of the small bodies of water around here have frozen and the ducks and geese have gone to what little open water you can find.
What is really fun about this hunt is the size of the bunches. Not long after we were set up a bunch of maybe 75 started swinging. As I was working on them another 3 bunches about the same size dropped in from way up. Before you knew it there were 400 mallards looking hard. It’s hard not to just be in awe…
With a few of those big bunches getting just dead right and three guys bearing down pretty good it wasn’t long before we had our limits. The day was clear and bright with a nice south wind. I think that’s why we didn’t see many geese until dark. We did kill 3 but we saw a fraction of what was around Saturday.
