Even though our season doesn’t officially close for Ducks until December 4th, we are pretty much done.
Sunday afternoon was our final trip, capping off what will go down as our 3rd most successful year as far as numbers go.
The various small grain harvests fell into place nicely and allotted us with ample fields to attract Ducks, Geese, and Cranes.
It was a long season, chasing Early Canadas on the 15th of August to our final hunt on November 27th.
We now trade our shotguns and decoys for the short rods and ice augers as our small bodies of water are getting their first skims of ice.
Today, we present you with a picture review of what we were able to accomplish here in the Duck Factory!
