My Oregon friend is out today for the end of it as well. We'll see what he's got to report this evening. What kind of calls are those?

In September that blind was cleaned up, covered with grass and you could sit on those benches. Rows of corn stood tall behind it. Now its naked and bare there are hulls, sandwich bags, duck feet, dog wizz, blood, feathers and crap everywhere... the corn is gone and mud is calf deep. The bloom is off the rose shall we say. But hey, I guess we got our money's worth out of her again, it's a good blind.
The wooden call is a no-name I bought from Dunn's about 20 years ago, the green one is a Duck Commander (cheap sporting goods store call but I like the way it sounds and I can chuck-a-luck and feed cluck with it) and the whistle is just an all-purpose tweeter but it makes lots of good noises too. |

The season ended here in SC also. I was fortunate some ringnecks come-a- calling and Charley Price's old D 10 spoke to a few.

I had a strong report from Tennessee but a weak one from Oregon. David was out with a buddy and they only killed one pintail a piece there on the mouth of the Columbia. Gurton's crew in Tennessee was a different story however. A five man limit on the river, mostly mallards but with three pintails and a widgeon oddly enough. Everybody shot pintails this year but me apparently. I think I was in the boat when a hen was killed and that's it. I never was very lucky on sprigs, I can only recall a couple of really nice drakes in the cream of 20+ seasons.
Ringnecks are one of my favorite ducks. We don't shoot many in Canada where I hunt now but used to really get into them in Southern Illinois. We shot so many that we had dedicated decoys for them. Nice to see a lifter gun out doing what it was made to do. You see a few guys shooting them on clays but I've not seen but just a couple in the field. Destry

That D 10 ga lifter was the first Parker Charlie Price ever purchased. He paid $100 for it at a Ten. gun show in 1965. It is a 2 frame , nice chokes and the drop is a little less than 3". I shoot it pretty well and just love dropping Ringnecks with it. My neighbor had a 30+ acre pond that has a lot of aquatics Ringnecks love and we get 300-400 birds come in most mornings. He does not shoot ducks and I do not shoot turkeys so we trade.http://parkerguns.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif

David,
What do you boys call them down there? The most common local name I've heard for them in the south is "Jacks" short for "Blackjacks" and that's what we called them at home too. One of my favorite ducks! Destry
