Minnesota Mallards

[TheDuckTamer]

Well... I wish I had all the pictures but we dropped the camera in the lake - can't get it to work (anyone who has a solution it would be appreciated). We finally got on some mallards this past weekend. A buddy and I managed to pull our limit of them Saturday night. We missed out on the geese but can't really complain.

Threw in a pic of the spread too... Sorry for the pics. They were taken with the cell.

wait there's ducks in MN!? havent been able to get out much lately this year and when i have havent seen much, hopin theres a few more around this weekend.

congrats on the good hunt where you at in MN?

Slice - There aren't too many around. We had to work out tails off for these. We went out in the morning and got the skunk bird. Went back, pulled out the honey decoys, and downsized; we luckily managed to pull a few in.

We shot em' in central MN.

[TheDuckTamer]

I know Joey... Wished I could post them all but I wish I had my camera back even more... damn frustrating... think I can steal the wife's?

Ive had cameras take a bath before. Take the batteries out and let it dry for a couple days and put a fan on it to help it dry. Ive done that before and it worked again. Ive also tried that and it still didnt work. Its worth a shot.

Yeah that sounds like fun. Nothing like giving the sewer walleyes a good pounding!

Put your camera with the battery out in a bowl of white rice, it works for cell phones usually!

[THE OUTLAW]
