Old Mossy Horns
Am planning on heading to Halifax County to take my son duck hunting for the last time of the year but the temps tell me we will be breaking ice. Trying to decide if its worth it.
Did that in a swamp in Forsyth County years ago. At daybreak it seemed every duck in a mile radius tried to get into that hole. Worn them out. Lot of work but we'll worth the effort.Carry a sledge hammer to break the ice. Break up big sheets and slide them under the ice when you get a hole opened up.
We had to do this 2 years ago and it took 30-45 min to get a small hole (45'X60') open and clear of ice. It payed off big time!
