HALTY LAD 92 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 The duck up here were everywhere, as the rain filled fields and places that were normally dry. But now the cold is tightning them into the larger ponds and coastline Quote Link to post
cammy12 176 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 the feeding options for ducks this year is crazy with flooded stubles and even some feilds with grain still standing, once all these other options are finished and the weather turns a bit colder your pond will come back, if you have permission some of these flooded splashes can produce some good sport ive shot a few this year and has been mixed results good luck with your pond bud cammy 1 Quote Link to post

Blakloks 5 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 We can't catch a break with wet weather you think it's starting to dry up then bang! More rain no sign of duck there is a peregrine taking duck of a splash on a boundary nearby that a guy we know shoots just to add to the misery Quote Link to post
Wullz 408 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 We are starting to see numbers now...but there are still loads of flooded splashes about and the ducks are going in there too.....it hard, but keep feeding and they will come back when it gets a bit harder weather....
