Hi all, I'm new to duck hunting.
I've stumbled on what appears to be a roost marsh. About 10 acres, basically a slow meandering stream that widened out in a pothole. Lots of corn fields nearby. Surrounded by old and second growth forest. Duck weed and other stuff in the marsh. Seems to be spring fed. 2 doz ducks seem to just stay in the marsh unless flushed.
I'm wondering if this could be a great hotspot later on if we get a freeze. But I also wonder if I should leave it alone if it's a roost. Any thoughts from you veterans?
