We ended our hunt this morning around 10:30 and brought home 1 Gadwall. Given the amount of shooting that occurred, I should be very busy tonight cleaning birds, instead of having only 1 to process. We were at a P.L.O.T.S. property just north of Turtle Lake, along Rt 200. It was a marshy area that provided nice cover, though we had to sit in the water all morning. Jackson enjoyed being on his retriever stand and staying dry...
Around 9am, with things being fairly slow, Dan got up to try to move some birds my way around 9 AM. That worked very well, except that I shot and missed 9 consecutive times. It reminded me very much of a summer league game in my college years when I threw 16 consecutive balls to start a game...
A little later, Dan joined the action and missed a single Mallard. We finally got on the board by both connecting simultaneously with a Gadwall that came to close (video below). Jackson made quick work of a simple, 10 yard retrieve.
We just finished lunch and will head out for some pheasant hunting in about an hour.
