Frozen Duck Hunt

Monday Todd asked me if I wanted to go duck hunting with him since I was home alone. We loaded up everything and headed down to the duck club in the side by side. It was a cold cold morning. Like 6 degrees. We got to the gate and the lock was froze. Frozen solid and full of ice. We didnt have our full bags with us since we were going to be walking so we had no lighters. We lost the key to the club in the snow.. had to go to Flying J to get lighters. We came back to thaw the lock. It took a while but we finally got it.
 We made our way through the soggy wet snow, parked and hiked out to our spot. The visibility SUCKED. Fog had socked in bad. You couldnt see more than 20 yards in front of you

 That 'stream' is our foot path through the snow. There wasnt any open water. We made our own ponds by stomping down snow into the water. It was some hard work.

 The fog started to lift






 We had no ducks. Nothing was flying. We packed up after a few hours and headed back home.
