Duck Season 7th. Week


Well Dave got you some great pictures to see this week. These are pictures of the New Lake. The temperature has been cold and the lakes are iced up. This means the hunters need to stomp on the ice and break it into big chunks. Then they push the chunks under the large sheet of ice. The duck want open water to land in. This work out is better than any they would get at the gym. Dave used irrigation tubing and had the water running trying to keep the water open in the East Lake. (Go back and look at week 5 for those pictures) The temperature has gone up the last couple of days. It's in the 50's and raining. This will melt things and open it up a bit.
Here is a picture of the Old Lake. As you can see the water is opening up a bit.













Here is a picture of the East Lake. The water is open.



Here are some pictures of the Canada Geese flying over.This is a very large string which is unusual. There are plenty of them if they would only come in.
It is awesome sitting in a blind and seeing large groups like this go over. They are quite noisy too. Well if we can get the water open they might slow down and look a bit. Ha-Ha!!



Happy Holidays!
Love,
Mickey
