Ducks in the A.M..........

[SAM E. STEPHENS]

Says its going to be in the upper 20's in the morn and I have not duck hunted yet this year and I have never set out with a bow for them either. So I guess in the morn I will be sitting on our pond with a few decoys in front of me and my bow in hand. My father-in-law said he saw a group of ducks on the tank this afternoon so I'm hopeful of getting a shot in the morn. Got a quiver full of old arrows with sharp broadheads and a few flu-flu arrows in case I'm feeling extra good. Plan is to set a few decoys close and hope for the best ( I will be shooting at them on the water ). I will get all camoed up and sit on a short stool ready for a shot. Should be fun if nothing else.....

I have a smile on my face- just from reading about the anticipated outing.  Looking forward to hearing more about it.  Good Luck.

Sounds cold . But fun. Go get them.

Good luck !!  We have wood ducks that fly in to our creek on our lease every evening. I've wanted so bad to take my bow down there with some flu flu arrows and broadheads. Haven't yet tho. Hope Santa brings me a camera arm and big Tri pod for my camcorder. Would make for interesting footage minus the bleeps for when I missed. Lol

Headed out to the cabin now , just finished charging cameras and putting camo tape on them. Will try and get some footage of the hunt like I said it will be fun how ever it goes. Just put together a new ILF recurve today and will be using it tomorow....

Good luck this morning! I went after some on public land once here in OK. I saw a Game Warden on my way in & he asked me if I was going to try to kill a duck with "that thing" (my longbow). I said, "Yessir." He just laughed & said, "Good luck!" and laughed some more. He never asked to see my hunting license, or Waterfowl stamp or anything. LOL. I guess he was right to not bother wasting his time, because I didn't find any to shoot at that day, but his reaction was always funny to me.

I am very interested in the outcome of this!!!

Ok , so far this morn I have 3 misses and 2 had feathers taken off of ( they just flew across the tank after loosing feathers and went about feeding ). Have seen about 20 so far 2 redheads and the rest teal and if you don't know teal are a small target. By the time I got out to the cabin put gear away and got decoys out and a little blind made it was 2am before I hit the bed. Got the hunting on video so far and will take some pics and post them later tonight. I love duck hunting and would have had a early limit this morn with my shotgun but the old scatter gun might stay in the safe this season cause this is pretty fun. Will sit a few more hours and will hunt again tomorrow , back at it for now....

My new favorite way to hunt waterfowl! Don't plan on killing enough for a meal, but when you do connect it's a better feeling than a limit with a shotgun! My favorite target is geese. Much bigger target!

Duck is dead I repeat we have a dead duck with my recurve , got it on video also. Pics later tonight.....
