There are More Ducks On That Side – Duck Hunting

by Douglas Larsen It’s the oldest joke in waterfowl hunting. An old fellow looks up at a “V” shaped formation of ducks migrating across the sky.

Decoy Tip – Duck Hunting in Argentina

by Douglas Larsen If you hunt waterfowl with some regularity, you probably have at least a dozen decoys stored in your barn, or your garage, or under the porch at your duck camp. If you are really over the top (like me) you may have several hundred decoys at your disposal. Some duck camps will …

MONTARAZ PIGEON HUNTING REPORT

This time, we decided to bait in six different areas in an effort to concentrate the pigeon population where we want. This strategy can be highly effective.
