This is where we do the majority of our waterfowl hunting
It was created by beaver at least 25 years ago. it has been purposefully drained at least twice, to my objections. But the beaver have come back and now it is to the point of being to full. We mostly get your standard Woodies, Mallards, a few Teal, mostly blue wing with a few greenies the last few years, and usually a couple geese every year.
We built a duck blind on the eastern shore in 2015 and were able to build it wearing knee boots, this year you needed chest waders. The hunting can be phenominal or down right boring. 2 or 3 years ago, we had a dry spell during the summer that allowed the dam to drain, then during the fall we had tons of rain which filled it back up. This was the best year we ever had.
Last year was pretty bleak, with all the water it drowned out most of the submergent vegetation and the dabbler ducks couldn't reach it. But I was able to scratch out a few birds
Below are some various pics of hunts we have had through the years.
