Day 2 ducks

Slow morning so far for ducks. We are in a good-looking spot and the spread and layout boat look fine (tucked into cattails), but there is not much duck action in the sky. Dan shot one Ruddy Duck about 20 minutes ago, and Mag made a fine retrieve. A dead duck 30 yards in front of us was a nice, easy way for her to start her duck duties. We are going to give the duck hunting another hour and a half, then switch for some mid-day pheasants.

We have a crockpot of barbecue duck waiting for us when we get back tonight, and I'm sure you be waiting anxiously to hear if culinary skills rendered those ducks edible.
