Below Zero Ducking

[Nemont]

Found a field covered with ducks yesterday but it was -24 below. It was supposed to warm up today so we decided to give it a go.

It was almost balmy when we set up.

Set up a couple dozen duck decoys and got settled into the blind.

The ducks poured in like they were committing suicide. I don't have any pics of the action as my hands would have froze with the wind chill.

Finished in about 45 minutes with 25 greenheads. The guys all did a good job of only shooting drakes.

Brrr but the action must have kept you warm for a while.

Nice. Tougher man than me. I woke up early on Saturday morning and saw -39 and went back to bed. Haven't left the house since. Way to pick out the "greens".
