As a freelance duck hunting fanatic, it's all about knowing when to go. That means watching the weather north of you. For us in Colorado when there is a storm that hit the Dakotas and Nebraska we know we have birds coming and we like to get out ahead of the storm and "hunt the front." Needless to say, we got some fresh birds from this storm, now it's game on for duck hunting 2022 and we plan to close the duck season out strong!
This morning we set up on the river bottom in a new spot we havn't hunted along the Platte River. As the sun came up we had fresh ducks working the river and we were able to call nearly all of them into our medium-sized decoy spread of 1 dozen floater mallards some teal and 1 mojo. They were sucking into the calls and the movement we were creating in the water with our jerk string. This was the first hunt I have done without a duck dog in a long time. I don't know how people duck hunt without a dog I felt naked and we missed a lot of opportunities looking for other birds and we were unable to find a few of the birds....not fun.
