Matt's pond had a sandy bottom and full of feather grass. No one hunted it for the first 20 years that I hunted my blind. Ducks would come from the refuge behind us to the North and fly South to that pond, right over me.
Before the weirs, it was a lot of Greenwings, Pintails, Canvasbacks and Widgeons. After the weirs, it turned to Gray ducks, Bluewings and Pintails. My pond was about 50 acres in size. I had a 3 man blind with 10 to 12 dozen decoys.
There was a big line of canes between his blind and mine and to the south, there was a levee that went East and West across the South end of both our ponds.
