On the big birds are from canada theme. a buddy of mine has been pounding the ducks for weeks. He has never shot a band from this location. for about a week he was having big flocks of what he kept on calling canada mallards decoy right in. he ends up shooting a big banded greenhead. called it in, and imagine that, banded about 2 months prior, less than 5 miles away….. too young to fly. i have only shot one banded mallard that wanst from the area. banded in fon du lac a month before i shot it.

went out on pool 8 tonite. lots and lots of ice! last nite there were birds around, tonite there were none. might be the end.

there are a few left around, but not many. by this weekend the river should be foze pretty solid. good luck if you get out.

dem deer,
how can you scout for 12 hours? i went today and scouted a large (goose)area in a half hour! i pm’d you and i got no response, so i guess you dont need any help.
