[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5007949, member: 10399"] It our first year hunting it. It was owned by a local timber company all my life and borders the farm I grew up hunting. I’ve spent a lot of mornings trying to call turkeys across a creek from there to me and assuming the deer I was hunting was laid up across the line. A couple years ago they finally cut some of the timber - select cut that left a respectable number of good trees. The man who’s been gracious enough to let me hunt with him since I was a kid was then able to buy it. Last year we paid close attention to where the ducks preferred during a backwater. We weren’t sure how the grade would work out, but he was able to add a one small levee plug across a drainage ditch and flood 100+ acres of standing timber this year. We’ve already had some spectacular hunts and my band on Christmas eve was the second one we’ve picked up in there this year. Working ducks into true standing timber and shooting them at 10-20 yards is incredible. Something I’ve only done a handful of times during backwaters before now. For me, killing 10 ducks in there is a whole lot more satisfying than killing 50 in a flooded corn field. [/QUOTE]
