Should Have Went Golfing

Looking back at this morning, it seems we would've had a better chance at a birdie if we brought our golf clubs. We hunted at Teresa's slough just SW of Webster & were set up & ready to hunt 15 minutes before shooting time (6:50am).  At about 7:15am we had one duck fly across us well out of range. It landed 150 yards to our right and didn't swim back toward us or offer any further opportunities. Given the clear blue skies, 50° temperatures, & the fact that we hadn't seen a duck for an hour and a half, we decided to quit hunting at 8:45. This gives us time for a little bit of pheasant hunting this morning before lunch - in addition to our regular pheasant hunting this afternoon.  As you can see from the picture below, Jackson nearly fell asleep while sitting on his retriever stand... We're going to take him and Winnie out now and then hunt Winnie & Mag this afternoon.
