nice duck pond you got there...there should be a big catfish or bass in that pond too...charlie

It is too far off the river for fish, unfortunately. It is a drain that runs through Dad's property. He has a dike going across it with a spillway to regulate the water level. It drains right down when you take the boards out of the spillway and then it is a great area for deer and turkeys. The big oak tree you see is a magnet for wildlife when the acorns fall

That is a nice "hole" I have a similar one, an old rice mill pond that is also a drain,but I can flood it from the river. I finished the season there yesterday with four woodies and two green wing.

This is Pepper, my Irish lab, with the last duck of the season, a male greenwing.
We had a pretty fine duck season here with these last two freezes pushing down a good number of birds

I really need a 12 gauge with open chokes rather than a 10 gauge 32" full/full.

A DHE 30" steel improved & mod works for us. I recently purchased one for all the "boys". We get a lot of teal, ringnecks and woodies and a fast open choked gun helps.

I am looking to add on to the duck gun arsenal this year. Actually, I have a real beater of a GH looking at some new barrels cut from 32" to 30.5", so hoping it will be more open, with still enough weight to swing.
