2012 Duck Numbers

Setting the Table

My dad and our newly adopted partners have been hard at work the past couple of weeks getting things all set for the upcoming season, while I've been stranded at home studying for the P.E. exam.  I've been living through their reports and pictures in the meantime.  Opening has been mowed in front of our blind in the corn field, holes and open strips mowed in our moist-soil unit, levees and roads mowed, downed timber from our TSI project has been piled up just awaiting for a match to be thrown on it, other two timber holes mowed enough to float decoys, and.......the pump fired up!  Now other than hauling down decoys and covering blinds, just need to wait for the fields to fill (over 50% done already) and our feathered friends to show up.  Hopefully the weather conditions will cooperate this year and make this a season for the books!
