    I have done it plenty of times. Just make sure you get one wide enough. I'd like to pick up a nucanoe frontier 12 just for this reason. I hunt out of my ascend when I go kayak hunting now.

    I was very close to getting a Frontier 12 back in May. I passed for now.

    Went out this morning and ended with two mallards and a canvasback. Kinda slow but still a fun hunt. We saw some pretty big groups of mallards that were way too high to even bother calling at, but good to see them in the area. It'll be warm here the next couple days, with highs in the 70's then drops to lows in the 20's. Hoping we get a push of ducks in the near future.

    Wish I was going to be home this weekend to do some goose hunting with this weather system coming in but have in-law Thanksgiving 2.5 hours away.

    What a hunt this morning. We finally got that big push of birds we needed. Shot 4 mallards and 2 gadwalls- including my first banded bird. Turned out to be a Jack Miner band so that was just icing on the cake.

    Went out sunday and shot 4 greenheads. I'm going to try and get out a few times over the holiday weekend, we are coming down to the last week and a half of the regular season.

    Unfortunately pretty well everything is frozen here now. Might try breaking ice over the weekend if I can find anything worth hunting.

    Hell yeah. We went out this morning and were a little late setting up. Missed the ducks and a few flights of geese. We did knock down 2 honkers

    For some reason we have very few geese around this year. Last year at this time they were everywhere, and you could watch them come off the river each morning. Even up on the Yellowstone there are very few.

    More then likely you dont have a resident bird population. Last year you were seeing migratory birds and depending on weather they had no reason to leave your area.

    2 years ago the migratory birds got pushed down here and stayed through March. We were killing birds in feb and March banded in Ontario.
