Pond hunting just feels nostalgic.
I love both field and pond hunts for ducks, the pond hunts usually last a little longer. Plus I love eating teal and you don’t shoot many of those in a field hunt.
Before I got a dog I would take a fishing pole and a live target frog with the hooks flipped around to cut down on the wading or if the pond was too deep. I also had a kayak that I took on bigger ponds. Most of the small pond I used to hunt have dried up now so I’ve been thinking about trying some big water hunts with the boat.
There is just something I love about sitting on a swamp chair drinking a coffee, the smell of the pond listening to the duck chatter waiting for go time.
Always take a walking pole, nothing worse than dunking your gun or filling your waders.
