True. If it's poring down rain and cold. You probably won't catch me out trying to kill a deer. But put me in the duck blind and it's on. I remember one hunt last yr was an evening hunt and it was poring down rain. All day rain. Poooooring down. Got in blind at 1230 thinking we are going to smoke em early and get out of here and be in bed by original time. Nope. Sat in that terrible weather for 4 hours before we shot our first shot. Ducks everywhere. Nothing wanting to work. All high birds. Crazyness. We have been calling at birds all afternoon . Trying different calls and moving decoys in the down poor. All of a sudden the birds said, "Hey, let's go there."
Group of about 8 Pintail came in. 6 stayed. It was on from there. Killed 24 ducks and 5 specks at the end of that hunt. 1 banded speck. Done with limit by 515. Took an hour and 15 minutes to do that. Totally worth the 4 hours of miserable cold down poor to kill them though.
Yeah I'm sick in the head.
