Duck hunting

[MrIncredible004]

Any advice for a newbie to Colorado for duck hunting and where to go? I saw that the canadian geese are pushing through the area hard but I don't know anyone who hunts in the area.

I am in The Springs.

Thank you

My first time out for Ducks and Geese was at Eleven Mile & Spinney State Parks; Public Land with easy access.

Heard some OK things about eleven mile. Haven't heard much on Spinney will look into those.

Spinney has been drained.

At 89% capacity as of Nov 13th, covered with ice & closed for the season according to CPW website.

Nice mount. How much that run you?

It was $200 a bird and $100 for the box/display so $500 as pictured.

Get a Duck Call... Quack Quack don't get r done.

That seems like a fair price. Awesome mount that should last forever.

Reviving this thread as I got out today! Limited out and got luck enough to get this guy...an awesome Bufflehead! Got a female as well but I messed her up pretty good so he will be getting mounted solo.
Tons of shovelers around, some mallards, and even saw a hooded merganser but he was out of shooting range unfortunately. That is the duck I want the most, but redhead and goldeneye are right up there.
