Great Day Out!

[longshot]

Hey guys,

My dad and I were at it again this Saturday. Lots of snow still around and most of the water-bodies are frozen, but we found a nice mallard migrator hide-out :wink:.

We had fast decoy shooting action all morning, and both my dad and I were on the ball today... At first light I made a "3kills-in-3shots", my dad got 2 mallards in 1 shot, we team shot 4 mallards in 4 shots... it was great shooting!! :twisted: Definately our best day out yet! Lots of new mallard migrators around. Finished the day off with a 2-man-limit with the 2 of us...

Here is me and the biggest mallard I've seen in years!! Weighed over 3.5 lbs!

All in all both my dad and I had a great mallard hunt today!! Nothing beats a cold morning in the snow with lots of mallards around, a cup of coffee, blabbing with my dad, and of course... them 3" Magnums!


Cheers,

Longshot jr.

Great shoot guys where abouts did you go

Good shooting boys, that one mallard shore is a fatty, it kind of makes him look weird with the normal size wings.

I miss the days of sitting in the duck blind with my father and eating baloney and mustard sandwiches and drinking some of his tea. We used to hunt off of the sand dunes so there was always a bit of grit in the sandwiches not to mention the action of the shotgun as well. Duck hunting with my father was special time for us as my other two brothers didn't hunt.

Glad you had fun, enjoy those moments because they wont last for ever.

We went to a remote location in the "bay".

Have you been out there with your floating coffin lately?? :wink: We were planning to go further up island but our hyped-up lil' truck had fuel injector issues. (brand new Holley Fuel Injection... came pre-broke) So we didn't want to go any further than we really needed to.

Had the duck boat out a few times this season but not in the last two or 3 weeks. I'll probably have it out over the christmas holidays especially if it freezes up again. Unfortunately I didn't get out during the hard freeze.

After seeing your posts longshot I really feel like shit for breaking my ankle and missing most of the rest off this season.Keep up the good shooting!

Nano, that really sucks about your ankle. I kinda know what its like. Last Spring goose season I broke my wrist. I was still able to hunt but a little handicap though. I used my 870 like a single shot by resting the forearm on my cast and only taking 1 shot per flock. Hope you heal quick!!
