Great so when I slop through the silt to toss 6 dekes(too tired to throw the others). I can shoot nothing but divers. Leave them hopefully on the water, and then then pick them all up at once. No way I am mad enough to make up to six trips through knee deep slop. I am going to be jumping farm tanks that still have water and let the ducks clear the shore line before I shoot. Walk over and pick them up on firm ground. [Plan B] Gonna have a 18 yard dump truck full of corn be dump at the farm close to where we picnic at . Put a few deks out . Should be great hunting and very relaxing.

The hunting will be fine just find water thats all.Ducks dont care bout this lake or that lake being full or shallow they just want a lil water. But here is a tip for ya,lots of guys talk about duck food corn, millet,rice,ect. but forget that ducks also like invertebrates & crustaceans as well, so with this low water or even no water but a good mud flat thats not killer to get to them ducks will come in there as well to eat those things.Just got to scout your tail off this year.SO Your gona have to buy full body duck decoys this year and layout blinds if you dont have em dig in and hunt hard. yeah... but as mentioned the problem is getting to them...

If ask what my plans are for duck season I would say I will be staying close to water well feed ponds. I have been doing some serious farm house Door knocking.
