End of Day 2

Day 2 was a lot better than day one: more birds & the temps that the weather app said to expect. So the morning started about the same as yesterday - not many birds were flying, but we just had to be patient, then they started flying. We also learned that Dad can not hit a duck that is flying to save him. He is 0 for the trip so far. I on the other hand shot pretty well killing 1 duck, a bufflehead drake, and a coot (that although Uncle Dan’s favorite waterfowl, it’s not a duck). So that is 3 birds for me on the trip and zero for Dad.

   We went pheasant hunting in the late afternoon and did very well, shooting 2 roosters, and seeing a lot more out of shooting range. I guess Dad finally figured out how to shoot a gun straight, as he killed one pheasant, though it flew about 600 yards away from us and then we found it by accident, because of Moose being able to smell it. The 2nd one was a closer shot and we both hit it at the same time absolutely destroying it. 

   Now we are all sitting around and getting little things around here done, and then we will decide if we want to go out to dinner or just eat at the hotel. We hope tomorrow is better on the Duck front: maybe Dad will actually hit something that I have not already shot!
