Talked to a buddy that deer things by Appleton, MN. Exact words, "In 47 years I've never seen so many ducks."
His family started me into duck hunting and I don't take his statement as exaggeration.
Friday I let Bluebills fly over for the fact it was one of the coolest moments I've experienced outdoors. Literally standing in a freaking Redlin painting.
For what this season wasn't in numbers for me it has been memorable. Great hunts with family and friends, and rejoicing in the memories made from hunting in solitude.
319 days to Duck Opener 2018.
Well then Marsh Lake should of been on complete fire late last week.
If guys weren't shooting birds on Marsh last week then that lake has truly taken a huge turd.
When Landwere came in there were a lot of changes: 1/2 hour before sunrise opener, 3 woodies, 2 hen mallards, etc. ALL of that was nixed before he got in... then he got the Splits, which was literally ground breaking for Minnesota Waterfowl Management. But even the first year people were saying, "Should not be South Zone, should be SE Zone." My guess is they tossed the whole South in due to some agency/state level contact that complained to Gov. Mumbles, or just found the committee could agree 1/3, 1/3, 1/3.
Landwere is in a tough spot. His boss will be out in 2 years, so he will likely be ousted also. We can bitch now, but wait until your DNR Commish is a paved bike trail riding, city lake kayaker that thinks we need yoga parks and and Wild Friends Viewing Blinds on your favorite WMAs.
