Well, duck hunting was a bust today. We were in early and set up (same spot as yesterday), and had about 50 ducks land on the pond in front of us out of range. One came into range and we shot and killed it. With no ducks in the air, we saw the writing on the wall and shut it down at 8:45.
We switched Gunner for Win and Mag and were pheasant hunting by 10:30. We flushed 7 today, 3 hens and 4 roosters. Too bad we came home with nothing. Of the roosters, 2 were behind trees or other obstacles that blocked our shot, Bill flat out missed a gimme that Mag had trailed for about 200yds, and the 4th flushed just out if range. Despite no kills, it was a good day.
I write this post from a cornfield, waiting for Dan's geese to arrive... We watched them hit this spot at 9:30am, so we are hopeful they will return tonight. If so, it will be a sight not soon forgotten!
Plan is to pack tonight, hunt pheasant tomorrow am, then hit the road around lunchtime.
Safe travels. Watch out for the deer :-)
ReplyDeleteThose ditch parrots are some uncooperative buggers. When you kill daddy long spurs, you know it was more than just good luck. You earned it!
