As I can tel lby driving around lately most of the lakes and ponds are pretty much frozen over or at least decently glazed over with ice.  As disappointing a time of year this is my duck boat is on the verge of going into storage for the year.
But before I do how many of you are still going to tough it out, break ice and keep hunting?
Or do you still see open water?

I will be out hunting in the boat for the remainder of the season, there is 1-2 of ice but nothing you cant break through for the next week. Good luck.

Yes! Everything is pretty much frozen, which is good for late season duck hunting IMO. You just have to stay away from the 'still' water and look for concentrations of Mallards.
Where I'm from calling, flagging and decoying are just basic skills and the kids will do a little guiding just to pay off some bills.

I was on my way to break some ice on saturday AM.  one of the bearings decided to lock up on the trailer, I'll try to post pics up of the carnage.

in my opinion
If a gun kills people then I can blame a pen for my misspells?

No luck for me this morning. The ducks seem too smart this time of year and my calling skills aren't quite up to par...
