Hunted flooded timber and zero-grade rice fields on the recent trip.
Hunters in camp recorded the following species over the three days I visited: mallards, shovelers, a Ross' goose, a blue (color phase of the white lesser snow, of course), white-fronted geese (specks), and a pintail.
Flooded timber hunts involve ice chopping, sliding sheets underneath to open up holes. Gunned from a pit blind twice. Took all ducks & geese over GHG dekes.
