Was in SD a few years ago and had a hen mallard land three feet from my feet in a dry cornfield. She was so close I had to set up in the layout to see her. Just standing there quacking.
Mostly rice so we are good. As more fields are pumped the ducks are spreading out. Seems like the Specs moved on this week. The kids should have a fun hunt this weekend. Let me know when the video comes out. I will get with Chris B and find out who you are.
