When we arrived at Miller’s this morning we found that the hole we made yesterday had totally refrozen. We broke it back open, but without the time or ability to remove the ice, it didn’t make a difference to the ducks.
There were a couple groups that streaked by around first legal shooting time, but with no water open, they kept on going and we didn’t get any shots. After it got light, Dan went for a walk and found a ribbon of water open 50yds downstream from us, so we moved there. No birds flew for the next 40 min & just as we stood to leave, a single hen mallard came by and Dan blasted it.
This gave Moose something to retrieve & kelp us from getting skunked, but we still left immediately to get packed & on the road home. We arrived back at the hotel at 10 & we’re on the road by 11:30, after eating lunch, packing, & loading the truck.
