On the flip side, deep flooded corn holes I've seen attract so many Ring Necks that it looked like one just disturbed a bee hive.
2-3 dozen Ring Neck specific decoys set up in a “J” pattern where you can find a hood food source will absolutely give you more than enough opportunity to shoot all you want and more. Enough so that you may have to fight off the crowds by hanging lanterns all along the banks to keep people from setting up on top of you.
Good Luck
What part of what lake has a food source left?????
“Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965
