Duck Blind Drawing

[Fish Whisperer]

Are any of you guys going to try your luck in the duck blind drawings this weekend?

[MNfisher]

Heading to Old Hickory, are you?

I went last year, Had the 11th pick. Never even got to hunt it. We had what we call the lilly pad hole. All my friends got to hunt but with the new kid and all that I never set foot in the blind. I will not be going this weekend, I am in Illinois.

I was thinking about going to the Old Hickory drawing.

Is the Old Hickory drawing still in Lebanon? I can't find it in the hunting guide.

If you ever hunted the timber in Arkansas, you'd throw rocks at the duck blind drawing. Literally, you will see more ducks in a single day than you will see all year in Tennessee.

Just like the Dakotas, but I love duck hunting and I take what I can get. Just because it isn't as good as Arkansas doesn't mean I won't go. I can't afford Arkansas. It's all about the love for the hunt, not seeing millions of birds and killing a limit. I had some awesome hunts last year where we only liked a few birds. The laughter, story telling, friendships. It's all about the experience.

Just like fishing, some lakes aren't as good as others, but I will still fish.

I usually go to Reelfoot a time or two during the season.. I'm just hoping to have a local spot for all the reasons Mike talked about.

I was gonna say if you had ever heard of Obion or Lake county TN. And from what I heard and seen last year mid tn had some great days. Instead of buying an out of state liscense, I'll just kill all the ducks I want in TN (west and middle).

Yeah, and Gibson and Humphreys. The list goes on forever. I've hunted Reelfoot, Forked Deer, and Ky Lake. I've been down the road many times hunting Cheatham and Old Hickory as well. All that "signing on" BS has ruined many a friendship.

It's not about limits either. And as far as money, it ain't that expensive. It is an hour and a half out of Memphis. If you can't afford to split a 35.00 motel room, you probably don't need to be duck hunting anyway.

Alpha trout fishes the White River for the same reason I hunt the White River. That's where the game and fish are. I don't care where you go, I'm just saying that if you ever hunted Arkansas, you wouldn't fool with that cluster f*** on the first Saturday in August. That's all.

No, it's nothing like the Dakotas. Arkansas is a half day's drive. How far are the Dakotas?
