Have any of you had success killing mallards over big water? We had a fun hunt on Lake Michigan last week and the mallards were loving the wooded shoreline. Haven't seen too many guys take mallards this way. Or, maybe just never looked that hard for the habitat they were hunting. Anyways, here is the hunt if you want to check it out. 4 man mixed bag limit with a bunch of puddlers.

Think the idea is to post more, converse, get to know people virtually and keep it interesting. I eye-roll when guys with 1 post a month or less complain how dead the place is.
I do agree that sometimes people just try to build some utube following which I'm personally uninterested in visiting. I like utube for comedy or how-to's on fixing chit.

That's what it takes and I agree State Forums can be tough to revive. But you gotta admit, people that complain about traffic but don't start/reply many conversations are a little ironic in thought. Same with folks that show up right at duck season wondering why it's gotten slow.
Though I'm sure Fakebook is as busy as usual.

If negativity was the culprit, FakeBook would be dead.

So true. And people would say- Is it twitter, twatter, tweeter??? Because that place is a sewer. I killed my account. No one needs to be drinking that graywater everyday.
Personally, I like the ebb and flow of how a post (conversation) can start with duck identification and transition into HNTSH's inability to cross country ski like a Swede.

It is true I have no plans to improve there.

Negativity, sarcasm, and the same jokes about shooting grebes and “woulda been a real shooter next year” are the only reason I stick around.

Agreed. Also, DHC history has illustrated how effective such negativity has been in weeding out the sensitive ninnies.

DHC has taken a quality over quantity position, so your feedback is appreciated.

I just try YouTube to figure out a way to hunt a plond.

Like this one? Seems like all the YouTubers are endorsing the product.
