One down, missed 2. Saw a bunch but of course they where in the other side of the pond.
I found a small pentagon shaped cement foundation on a shore line with no road access that I am guessing was a deluxe duck blind. Blueberry Island would make a great blind.He looks shocked to be there. LOL
Neighbors tell me of people hunting ducks and such on Assawompsett back in the day. This is pre-lead-free shot days as well. LOTS of people. Scary how stupid we get at times as humans. (Assawompsett is the reservoir for both Taunton and NB.)
Way out on a marsh in Yarmouth is the disappearing remains of a very old concrete foundation blind. When we first found it some of the walls were still standing but some severe storms a few years back pretty much wiped everything but the concrete out. I have no clue how anyone could have hauled the materials way out there to make that blind. I really wish I could have seen it in its glory days. A great spot too. Lots of bird traffic.I found a small pentagon shaped cement foundation on a shore line with no road access that I am guessing was a deluxe duck blind. Blueberry Island would make a great blind.

If you don't have a boat or a dog to retrieve your ducks, try to find a swamp or shallow pond that you can wade in. 6 decoys are enough to get the ducks attention, but a decent mallard call will help as well. If you don't want to carry dekes, then the call will help you out. Good luck.Any tips for a noob? This is the first year ive gotten any stamps for ducks. I have some chest waders but no boat ao i know im a bit handicapped.
It sure is. That gun is over 20 years old and has taken lots of ducks and some geese as well. It's been to the bottom of the swamp a couple of times, but I can vouch for the BPS to handle thousands of rounds flawlessly. I need to get a new recoil pad on it though, the original is hardened and those 3 inch steel loads kick.Is that a Browning BPS?
The CT river holds a lot of ducks around it, the problem is its really deep. There are a lot of farm fields on its banks that frequently flood, but we havent had enough rain to draw the ducks into puddles that form in the fields. The forecast looks a little rainy over the next week ao hopfully ot gets swampy.If you don't have a boat or a dog to retrieve your ducks, try to find a swamp or shallow pond that you can wade in. 6 decoys are enough to get the ducks attention, but a decent mallard call will help as well.
