Part 1: EARLY SEASON

Duck hunting on the Upper Mississippi National Wildlife Refuge on the border between Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. Miles upon miles of public land and refuges. It’s the beginning of the mighty Mississippi Flyway. A fabled area with a lot of well known history. Yes, it attracts ducks and duck hunters a like.

Knowing what we know now, we can positively say there are many better and easier places to be a die hard duck hunter. But this is where we grew up, it’s where we call home, and hunting this 100 mile stretch of river is how we live our life over the course of a 60 day duck season every fall.

Part 1: EARLY SEASON – Let’s go.

The early part of duck season is usually as predictable as they come. A few teal, plenty of wood ducks, hot weather, early mornings, mosquitoes, and a lot of competition. It’s usually just the precursor of things to come…..but mother nature had other plans this year. The first part of this season played out unlike other we’ve ever seen before.
