Thursday ducks
We totaled seven ducks this morning, hunting from 8 AM until 1045 on private property owned by a friendly landowner who we met last year. We shot 2 Bluewing Teal, a drake gadwall, and a couple shovelers. Gunner did a nice job and was able to recover everything we shot. His handling left a little to be desired (but isn't that the norm?) and he was steady throughout. All in all, I am pleased with his performance, rolling out of the truck directly into the marsh after a 25 hour ride... We are now heading to check into our hotel and then meet a local Pheasants Forever contact for lunch to get some Intel. Winnie kept Maggie and Jackson in-line waiting in the truck while we shot our ducks. Way to go Winnie! After our lunch meeting, we plan to scout a little bit, then hunt Winnie & Maggie this afternoon.

ReplyDeleteLove you, Gunner!! I am glad you have arrived safely and having a good time. I am soooo blessed to have sons that love each other so deeply and enjoy spending time together. I am glad you already realize how important it is to have FAMILY!!!!
ReplyDeleteGunner you are awesome!!! Glad that Bill and Dan could hit a few for you today! Love you all!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo apple cutting for Dan!
ReplyDeleteMom, I don't think the compelling attribute is that we love each other - we just share similar interests and know that nobody else could put up with us in such a confined space and for such a long period of time!
Easy on our shooting skills - I'll have you know that one of us shot 5 ducks with 6 shells!
