Rokslide Waterfowlers?

[Matt W.]

Any Rokslide waterfowlers on here? What's your go to setup? Got any good stories/pictures to share? Have not seen much and was curious if many here chased birds as passionately as we all do Big Game?

I do more waterfowl hunting than I do big game simply because the season runs through January here. Not much else to do after September archery seasons close. We go on a few rifle hunts in October sometimes, but it's mostly waterfowl in the winter.

The "Big Game" of the marsh...

Flocked decoys. The decoys are GH Gear decoys that I had flocked and painted at Body Language Decoys (Don and Caleb Mintz).

That's a start for pictures. I've got dozens more!

I like to duck hunt but don't like to eat it so I only go a couple of times a year

The dogs in their element...

I'm a pretty avid waterfowler in Dec and Jan. Ducks in Dec and big beautifull canadas in Jan. I live about 30ins from Grand Pass in MO look it up, one of the best places for mallards in the Mississippi flyway!

I really like big game hunting, but once waterfowl season starts I become a psycho. Probably hunt 60-70 days of the season. To me nothing in this world as good as breaking off a flock of migrators and gettin em boots down in the blocks. Liked it so much I guided for a few years. I'll throw up some pics at some point.

Thanks for sharing guys!

I've always heard NV has good waterfowl. Just curious what part of the state most of the birds are located?

The swans alone would be worth the trip. We can get two swan tags per season (so can non-residents).

In years past I've gotten pretty excited about waterfowl, although for some reason I don't feel the call so much this year. I'm sure once September ends I will be waist deep in the rivers and lakes chasing those damned birds once again.

I thought I was the only one feeling this way.... Lol

two words: Snow Geese.

Although I am getting more and more interested in mountain hunting with my bow, there's not much that I enjoy more than chasing snows...

This year is a little different for me cause of the deer tags I have. But on a normal year when Im hunting OTC tags i spend about a week deer hunting and once october rolls around Im pretty much strictly hunting ducks with a few pheasant hunts in between.

Here's a couple photos, I need to get better at taking photos...

I'm already counting down the days...There is just something about those cold mornings watching the birds working. Last year me and my buddy were fortunate to draw a late season rifle tag in north east California, we timed our trip so we could do a little duck and buck. We hunted geese in the mornings and deer all afternoon. Best of both worlds.
