12/23/11 Duck Blind Hunt

We have finally got rain and it filled up the beaver pond and sloughs.  We hunted the beaver pond without expecting a whole lot and got a nice surprise.  3 man limit by 9:30.  Gadwalls and Wood Ducks.  No mallards in the area yet so hopefully they are on the way down and will find this hole.  NNW wind 5-10mph, 46 degrees, low overcast with some fog.

The view from the day before when I had about an hour to throw some brush on it.  The old barnwood I used helps make it look like its been there for years.

The water should come up about 4-6 more inches so the blind is about right on height.  The brush job was a quick one and still needs lots of work, but it was good enough for the Greyducks! (You know, Gadwalls!)
