The day
got off to a pretty slow day. The
lake froze up, over night. we
thought the wind was to blow all night, but it must not have. The whole lake was ice. Then the wind picked up and started
cutting the ice out. About midday,
thing picked up some. Everything
was in huge flocks. Decoyed a
couple of those flock but with no luck.
Then we got a flock in for a reasonable good shot. The crew done a pretty good job for
what we had to work with. Then
just before noon we had a couple of big flocks join together, and wound
themselves down and down, but with a big problem. We had several hundred ducks and a couple dozen, Canada's, and Whitefronts trying to get into the
lake too. This large group
of S&B's down low enough to be in gun range and bearing down on us. Again with our problem of the ducks and
Canada's. I kept telling my hunter
we were not going to be able to shoot because of these other birds. Just as lead edge was pulling up in
front of the blind, it was as if the boss was Moses and parted the sky, so only
Snows and Blues were in the shooting alley. The crew did well, was a site to behold. Even the non shooters enjoyed that
sight.
We are,
for the weekend, over 100, real easy.
This is fun hunting, when you harvest birds everyday.
This old
man come in early, in hops of getting some much needed rest. Hope it works.
Be sure
to include the troops in your bed time prayer tonight. And check back if ya can
