Our Best Duck Hunt of the Season!

[longshot]

Well dad and I hit our favourite duck hunting fields again this AM. This time we hunted in one of the dry fields with large puddles instead of sticking to the fully flooded section. Longshot sr. fealt better this morning as he has been really sick for the past week. And what a fun day it was!!!

Day started off foggy and wet. Not to much action around shooting time. Around 8:15 the ducks started moving. Almost all widgeon and a few mallards. So we shot 6 widgeon by 9:30.

Then the mallards started moving around and didn't quit! So then we decided now mallards only. For next hour it was great shooting and we got our 16 by 10:30. We sat in the blind for an hour chatting and eating, and watching ducks upon ducks landing in the deeks. Very neat sight. We even had a few mallards land 20 feet away!

So it was a great day and the best duck shooting this season! It was definately something to cheer up Longshot sr. after being sick for a whole week! I got a new camera for my B-Day last week, so here's some pics for you guys:

These birds ended up landing in our spread after circling a bunch of times:

You sir (L Sr.) are a lucky man to be able to enjoy time in the blind with
an appreciative son. Congratulations to you both.

I think we drove by you.
We came up empty.

Good going guys! Looks like you had lots of birds working for you. No Pintail in the bunch?

I ended up not going hunting again this weekend. Just two worn out from work and still fighting off a cold/flue. Hoping to get out one last time next weekend when I'm over on the mainland to pick up some food for the dog.

Welllll..... We wished for a pintail drake... then we saw a pintail drake this morning... then we called in that pintail drake... then we shot at that pintail drake... and then we both MISSED that darn pintail drake!!! :cry: Only one I saw all day.

All well, I told it to come back next saturday for another round. :-D Cant believe dad and I both missed! Hopefully you get better soon! I'm sure you'll be out next weekend :wink:.
