TJ Petty’s Guide Service put it’s customers on the birds during early Wood Duck season. Everyone shot their limit of Wood Ducks and even took a couple Teal flocks that happened by for a look. Later that evening everyone enjoyed a wonderful game dinner that consisted of duck, deer tenderloin and dove. Here are a few pictures.

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.

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.

I read the July/August edition of the Ducks Unlimited magazine a couple of weeks ago. There’s a story that’s had me thinking ever since.
“Passing on the Tradition” is all about how hunters need to get young people involved in the outdoor sporting activities. If we don’t, there won’t be people willing to support conservation, wildlife, and hunting for future generations. As we all know, part of hunting license fees go to protect public lands. Plus without new hunters there won’t be a funding base for groups like Ducks Unlimited, Delta Waterfowl, Quail Unlimited, National Wild Turkey Foundation, Trout Unlimited, and the many, many other fine organizations that support outdoorsmen and the habitat of the game we are interested in.
My earliest experiences in the outdoors were with my father. He took me fishing and taught me how to hunt. Those are prized memories.
Be an example to a young person in your life. Take someone hunting and fishing.

We should be fishing
Seems like the dog days of summer are already upon us. The heat and humidity are oppressive and afternoon showers are a regular occurrence. So what’s an outdoorsman to do?
Buck up. Get out there and go fishing.
One of the most common misunderstandings about the summer is that fish stop feeding in hot weather. That’s crazy. Fish are cold-blooded animals. Therefore, their body temperature adjusts to their surroundings. And as fish warm their metabolic rates increase. So, they use more energy doing normal activities – and for a fish that obviously that means swimming around.
So the thought that fish quit eating when it gets hot is hogwash… it just can’t be true. Hell, fish actually need to eat more when it’s warm because they have to.
While it might be hot, that shouldn’t keep us all from getting on the lakes and rivers. And while you’re out there maybe you can jump in and cool off yourself.
