An abundance of rainfall had scatted birds and made duck hunting difficult, but one of the strongest cold fronts of the year promised a change. The Hard Core Waterfowl TV crew knew it was going to take some work, but after locating a ton of ducks utilizing a freshly flooded food source, they would get to where the ducks wanted to be despite the ensuing ice. After a couple hours of breaking ice to make their way to a point of timber the ducks were using the night before and busting out a hole for the decoys, the hunt was on. It was an afternoon filled with singles, pairs, and small groups of ducks getting coaxed into the decoys with timely, subtle calling!
