Experiencing late-season waterfowl

https://oodmag.com/experiencing-late-season-waterfowl/

For many hunters, the season's end is a grand finale in which waterfowl can put on a display not seen at any other time.

Excellent article. Thanks.

Been there, done that and have the memories. I've ended the year in a Tee shirt or so cold you had to warm up your words before you used them. Hard to explain the feeling that it's the end of the Season , sad yes but also excited knowing another year will be coming and new hunts to be had.

Well, hopefully next year will be better luck for me lol, I got skunked hard this year !

Years not over bud. Just gotta spend time in the truck with binos finding where they want to be. Big fat mallards will stay around if there's food and open water.

The thing is I have been scouting and finding tons of geese and ducks, they just on private property and few public land I been trying, days I go to hunt they not there and days I'm not hunting they there LOL, I was told it's allowed to hunt on the Rideau River between Manotic area I think and on as long as not near houses and other buildings, I am just not daring to do much incase I mess up and get in trouble, and as far as private land I been yelled at twice to go with respect ask permission lol

I can tell and show you a few places you can go outside Ottawa.

Marlborough Forest
Paden Road (Also opposite from Paden Road is an old trail, but I have not gone down there yet, but might soon.)
Heaphy Road
Rogers Steevens, Parking Lot 5 (should be a sign posted)

couple spots i have are just flooded with ducks right now.
if only my shot were true i'd have more ducks in the freezer :P

That is great! Thank you brother. Maybe I will get lucky after all!!! Lucky enough to have somebody share spots anyway.

Lol that's golden ! I say the same... besides the spots flooded with ducks lol but practice makes perfect.
