I don't know about anyone else but I'm already getting anxious about the 2012/13 duck season with all the new catalogs, gear and accessories for the waterfowl season. We hunt a couple of lakes that are on about 600 acres of land my buddy owns outside of Prague.
Last season we killed lots of ducks including gadwall , wood duck, green winged teal, mallard, lesser and greater scaup, merganser and one golden eye.
We had plenty of chances to get geese but due to the fact that Canadians mate for life we have decided to not hunt them, I know what a bunch of softy's.
Anyways I know there's some new gear out like flambeau's uv painted decoys, a ton of $150+ duck calls, and the new Winchester blind side which is what I am switching to from hevi-shot.
So what I would like to know is where you guys hunt, what gear you're using, what kind of ducks did you see last year, and what changes your going to make for the 2012-2013 season.
I know that I need to take out my shotgun and probably hit the skeet range a couple times before October.
I know it's early but good hunters practice early on targets, the unprepared don't and practice on ducks and guess what ,they miss a lot more ducks than we do.
