Friday morning

Our Friday duck hunting unfortunately turned into Friday duck scouting. The good news is we found an area with enough birds that I was content to sit and watch them and drink coffee for an hour. We had planned to hunt that spot, but Murphy's Law intervened and we found ourselves sitting along the bank of a lake with no decoys- hence, we just watched the birds and made a plan for a future day. Another piece of good news is that we found a small farm pond and obtained permission to hunt it tomorrow. There were good numbers of birds on it and good concealment around the edges, so we should be in for a productive hunt tomorrow morning. We plan to return to today's main scouting location for a hunt on Sunday. We got yesterday's birds cleaned, ate some lunch, and we are now off to kill some pheasants.
