Smallest chunk of water

[sprigdog]

I’ve hunted ND a couple times. Tad bit of water in corn is magic.
I hunted my smallest ever pond this AM. Our birds don’t dry feed.
Thought you would appreciate something different.

You're gonna have these bastards here leaving their water hoses running all through the night.

I had a bigger hole in my front yard last week from all the rain.

Yep. That field was pure water dike to dike 2 days ago. Amazing. It’s all about the protein now. Worms.

Awesome. That literally puts the “puddle” in puddle ducks. I have witnessed similar after heavy rain events but I cannot say that I have whiteness birds using a hole that small! How was your hide? Obviously you were hidden enough...

Hide was awful. Leaned up against a dike in a layout blind.
One of those spots where you tell yourself you’re screwed 40 minutes after LST.
I was.

In the first pic. You can see where the “tide line” is. That is where water was day before.
I scouted around 1pm yesterday. In the dark this morning I struggled to find water. 2500 ducks in here yesterday.
Should of hunted it yesterday.

I just lost my shit reading this.

Actually killing ducks is all you need to be "something different"... ha ha

I'd be divorced if I lived there.

Bingo. This could carry over to another thread where general duck knowledge is floundering....

Nice hunt...

Been there done that plenty of times. Layout with a tub. Cover with as much vegetation as possible. Waterswats are the preferred kill method. We kept a pinestraw or bedding fork on the truck to make it a little easier to get materials to cover the blinds.. makes for some upclose and personal killin. Fun times

What is the snipe population looking like out there?

Not shabby.

I love shooting snipe.. even sometimes with the side of danger

[JABIII]

An oft overlooked quarry worthy of few...

[sprigdog]

Concur. Super fun. I have a thousand acre tidal marsh that at low tide is huntable. I.e. Firm bottom and dry except the ditches that drain it. If you want to snipe hunt it, you have to paddle in. Take a power boat and you’ll be waiting for the next tide to leave.
Better eating than 90% of ducks as well.
Leaving in a couple hours for a 3 day chukar/quail hunt. Buddy swears he found a pocket of Mountain Quail. Chukar, that’s good eats! Want a mountain quail cock bird something fierce. May even take it to the taxi man.

Good stuff Sprigdog! Glad to see you around here.
