I can't wait!

I can't wait and I just got on a duck and goose lease for the first time.

[WestEndAngler]

Few shots...

[GHSmacker]

I can't wait either...i think about them all the time. You should see all the grey ducks we still have up here.

Let's hope they have good habitat conditions whenever they reach their breeding grounds this spring/summer.

I somehow missed this the first time I read this thread. Thanks for posting it. May not be set in stone, but it helps with the planning.

Cooked up a big pot of duck gumbo, it was so good. I only have a few left and I am ready to restock the freezer. Dog training time and getting gear ready for next year. Great pictures guys, makes for greater anticipation
