Alright. I’ve made an executive decision on how to get everyone caught up on the end of duck season (now that it’s basically April – what?!). Rather than do our last 4 hunts in individual posts, I am going to do a quick recap of 3 right here, and the 4th immediately after. Thaaaaat way…
Looking for a delectable Valentine’s Day recipe? Or, maybe its just a regular Tuesday and you’ve got a hankering for something other than chicken. Never fear – here’s the most deliciously easy recipe for dutch oven duck.
Our first crack at ducks after the new year happened on a Wednesday, and John and I were hunting that new pond I mentioned in my last post. It seemed like the duck hunting had slowed state wide – the birds just seemed to disappear for everyone.

Gotta love teamwork on a good trophy duck.
I was lucky enough to be put in contact with the ladies at Girls With Guns through Women’s Outdoor News to review some of their gear, the Waterfowl Jacket in particular. I am an avid duck hunter and typically hunt several times a week during the season, so having the right gear (and good gear) is important to me. At 5’10, I am definitely on the tall side, so many women’s hunting clothing does not fit me very well. I often find myself in men’s hunting clothes so the torso & arm lengths are adequate.
It’s hard to believe we are in the home stretch of duck season – I feel like we just started the second split. I’m not entirely sure where January has gone. Did Christmas really happen?
Oh yes, and we’ve seen lots of ducks in the meantime.
It’s strange – I feel like I’ve been writing the bright side of the road my entire life, yet somehow feel like I just started it. And 4 years have gone by since I published my first post? Madness!
So, in honor of this website’s birthday, here are the top 9 posts in its 4th year of existence. They’re in no particular order, but click the links below and reminisce with me!
The weather is finally cooling off, and we’re just a few days from the opening of our 2016 duck season. Woohoo!
At long, long last, friends – it’s here! The Bright Side Outdoors 2015 – 2016 Duck Season Video, recapping all of our duck hunting adventures from November to January.
I’m not sure if my shooting has improved since last season, or if I just happened to catch more shots on film this time, but this one is a little more “actual duck hunting” and a little less “hunters going duck hunting,” if that makes any sense… In other words, get ready to see some ducks fall, and dogs retrieve!
