The total duck population this year is nearly 45.6 million, which is 35 percent above the long-term average. This year’s survey reveals the second-highest pond count and a record 45.6 million ducks, the most since the survey was started in 1955. Blue-winged teal, shovelers and redheads soared to record levels.
TJ Petty’s Guide Service did a complete redesign on their hunting and fishing guide service website. Updates include a completely new look, new photos from the 2010 season, social media links and video. Petty related “this is all new and really connects me with our customers and friends, the social media additions will provide updates on the 2011 migration as it relates to Reelfoot and the Delta flyway.” Petty went on to say, “a big thank you goes out to Jimi Flynt for conceptualizing and creating this amazing new resource for Reelfoot duckhunters.” Check out the new website: http://www.tjpettysguideservice.com
People are constantly asking me for game recipes. What is the best way to prepare duck? Wild turkey? Redfish? Personally, duck is my favorite bird to cook, if it is just a breast I like it cajun style. Whole duck? I like to prepare con fin. Do you have a good game recipe? share it with the group here.
In the coming weeks we will be updating TJ Petty’s website. It will be a whole new look, lots of new pictures as well as links to his social media where you can stay up to date on everything ducky in West, Tennessee. You can find TJ by going to our Guides tab on the website or go on Facebook and search TJ Petty’s Guide Service. Blaize Charters also has a Facebook page, just search Blaize. Lots of great pictures on both pages. Hunt em up!
The word is there are more ducks being born in the duck factory right now than have been seen in many years. To me, this means a lot of young ducks will be migrating down when the weather turns cold and food is in short supply. Words like call shy and decoy shy shouldn’t be used as excuses for the 2012 season. Should be a great year, find your guide and schedule a hunt.
