They pitched down went other way to an open field. I crept up to field and peak my head over and there they are standing about 60-70 yards struttin. I laid down and tried to get them closer by calling soft but couldn't. Decided to take the shot aimed a little high and MISSED! Oh well, it happens. I'm gonna give em a break and go slide back there tom morning and try and cut em off. I'm still sitting in the woods with not much going on. My buddies on another piece heard 3 but couldn't get them to cooperate.

I am gonna be the first and chime in on this and it may seem a little Louisiana Sportsman dot com-like but..........60-70 yds? and aim high with a shotgun? Yes we all know people that kill them regularly at that distance, but would you shoot a duck that far? That is all I will say for now, and why in the world are you on the internet when you have the best scenery right in front of you? Sorry had to say it, work has me tied up until next weekend so i guess i am jealous, I will have my phone with me also out there, but it will be off and the only calls I make will be to the wife late in the evenings to let her know I am alive and thats it
