I can't really start to list all of my greatest hunts since just being out in the marsh is great. Sunrise in the marsh is one of the prettiest sights I have ever witnessed, each one is different but beautiful. The saturday before the season close I took my 8 yo even though he was kind of croopy. We bundled him up and samiched him between my two buddies to keep him warm on the boat ride into the marsh. Once on the lease he went into hunt mode looking for gators(did not matter that it was 30 degrees). His spot would be on top of one of our dog stands between me and Uncle Ryan. As the sun started to come up waves of mallards, pintail,teal, and grey ducks rose and began to take flight. Our 3 man limit was easy to fill that saturday morning, mallards,pintail,and mottled ducks. Hayden had a great time and actually called the shot on a group of teal that landed in the decoys, unfortunetly, we were waiting for the 3 mallards to work in close enough for me to call the shot.
