2007-Last Day of Duck Season




New Years Day! The last day of the 2007 Duck Season. The weather was bitter but Dave and Laurie went out any way. They had to break the ice. Here is a picture of the ice froze to their waders. Tom and Paul braved the cold too so I heard. I opted to stay home in the warmth. In the other pictures you can see the sun was shining, water froze solid, except for the area they broke to get open water, and the ducks were moving on.

Dave and Laurie didn't shoot any ducks that day but it was another good year. Goose season is still on for those who hunt the geese but we are finished. We are waiting for the weather to warm up so we can pull the decoys and drain the lakes. They say the temp will be in the 60's on Saturday. I guess we will be pulling the decays then. Next we will finish picking the corn that is left in the lakes. Hopefully it is still standing and not laying down. Last year it was like match sticks laying in the field. It made things a bit more interesting for me to pick. Bye for now. Happy Winter!! Love, Mickey
