Last year, I made an mid-afternoon hunt with my girlfriend. It wasnt technically going to be a duck hunt, more like a 4-wheeler ride, but with the shotgun. Pulled up about 40' away from my "honey hole" made a quick chirp on the call and they responded. I told Jackie to cover her ears as I made my way to the spot. I perched up and boom, must have been 50-80 ducks and I shot 2 times and jammed my 3rd shot and 3 ducks were on the water swimming the "death circle". I had no way of getting them. After some brainstorming, I hauled butt to the house to get my waders and a fishing pole. Came back, put on waders, got one. Rang its neck and threw it on the bank and it "came alive" again. Jackie proceds to beat the crap out of this duck that wouldnt die with 4 different sticks. I couldnt get the other 2 because they were on the other side of the hole and the deepest point of the hole is 40'. I wasnt swimming because it was about 40* outside. I took the fishing pole and a cheap pop-r and went to casting. About 10 minutes later, I had the other 2 ducks. 1 hen and 2 males. It was an awesome day. The only thing that would've made it better was if I had a dog !!!




Sorry for the long type, just re-living the moment !!!!

quack..quack

I had a woodie once!!!!!!

I don't care what anyone says, I still think a drake spoonie is a colorful bird.

Chris, I can hunt during the week if you want someone to go with you.

sounds good i always have mondays off and i have vacation i need to take before the end of the year.

Holy mother trucker it just hit me that I will be packing the gear two weeks from today!!! Pumped up ya hear me.

Going to grand chenier tomorrow to do some more work on the blind. This front should've pushed even more birds south. I'm so fricking pumped it's making it hard to sleep at night i hear specks and wing beats all night now.

Tonight felt like a night I should have been packing the boat up, getting decoys ready, smell of marsh mud in the air... Then I realized it was just a dream in chemistry class.

I had a couple big groups of specks fly over my house around noon. It got my blood pumpin real good!!!

Chris I can hunt during the week too whenever you got room

will do planning on hitting the marsh as many times i can this year.

Went did some work at our blind this evening and got the new decoys rigged up. Should have a awesome spread this year. I can't wait to hear those wings over us!!
