End of Day 1

   Well, day 1 did not go as we thought it was going to go. For starters, when we got out of the car at the Brekken Pond at six in the morning to get dressed, the forecast the day before said it was going to be in the mid 40's and when we got out of the car, it was 1 degree above freezing. So a great start to the day.

  Then we get set and as is typical, the first day is always the slowest, so we were 30 minutes late, and there were a lot of ducks close by and landing in our spread before shooting time sand just after it (before we were ready to shoot).

The day consisted of a lot of waiting, seeing tweedy birds and hoping they are ducks, then out of no where one finally decided to show its face and one shot one kill and that was basically all that happened. Oh, and when we made the agreement to pack up for the day one more duck flew right over us one minute after we unloaded our guns, so a very nice way to top off the day of hunting.

  Now we are back at the hotel if you can even call it that; it is like an apartment with 3 bed 2 bath, full kitchen, washer, dryer: this place is nothing that I thought it was. It is great out here. We ended the day by scouting out what places we want to hunt for tomorrow and any other days in the future. There is meant to be a video with this post. I a working on it… If it doesn't work, should be working by tomorrow.
