With the lack of activity, we called it quits early and spent the last two hours driving around scouting for new spots for both pheasant and duck. We located what appears to be decent spots for each and obtained permission for the Duck location, which is on private property. The pheasant location is at Lake Brekken, housing a good amount of woody cover and grassy ditches.

Beautiful sunrise
That's about all we got out of this morning's duck hunting. Temperature at legal shooting time of 7:52 AM was 25° and we had a 15 mile-per-hour wind out of the northeast. The spot we had located on Coal Lake that held hundreds of ducks and a few thousand geese three days ago was devoid of all activity this morning. We believe that is attributable to the change in wind direction and 20° drop in temperature. Gunner was very happy to remain curled in his mutt hut for the hour and a half we spent there.

Gunner is absolutely adorable! Maggie, Jackson and Winnie would have froze to death. You should take them blankets tomorrow when they go if it going to be that cold! : )
ReplyDeleteHope your afternoon is more productive then your morning! Love you guys!!!
Yes, Winnie would freeze. She's cold, just being in the hotel room! The Mutt Hut is very helpful to keep them warmer - as it keeps the wind off them and holds in some of their body heat. Both Mag last night and Gun this morning appeared to be very content inside it... This afternoon, we're heading West of Garrison to another WMA recommended to us by the PF contact. Let's hope we get some shooting!
