Those of you who hunt waterfowl in New England, particularly Massachusetts, sound off! I'd like to hear from you!

I'm going on my 2nd solo year.  

I used to tag along with my BIL   he had the boat and all the gear.  We had a bit of a falling out about 8yrs ago.

Last year I got backpack, some decoys and dusted off the waders.  Hit beaver ponds and swamps.

Got some ponds this year and got some goose decoys.

I skunked on the season but didn't make it out much, only a few times.   But I scouted alot while squirrel and deer hunting and found more holes    

Been calling along with some cds on my drive to work.  

.

Super excited.

I was hoping you'd say Northeastern CT as there's a lot of state land that I've hunted ducks on and have never seen another soul duck hunting on it.

Same here.it's easy to find spots just go uphill.   The steeper the better.

Sign me up if you need help. I know squat about ducks but I'm interested and have a pretty well behaved lab that loves bringing things back.  I'm about an hour from great barrington.
