Hunted with the paw-in-law and one of his friends this morning. Except for our shooting "abilities", it was one of the best quality hunts we've had their in a long time (duck wise). Plenty of geese in the area but the specks where still acting funny. They worked great just never wanted to drop altitude. Prolly had 7-8 bunches circle and work but only got one group down to a good level and knocked our 2 out. Ducks were a different story, they would appear like magic with wings already locked. Numerous groups of mallards from which we should've got our limit, but didnt. Same thing with pintail, but would've had our limit of those had we not lost 2. Plenty of greys and occasional spoonie. Saw very few teal. Had one group come in and we dropped a pintail, grey, and a spoonie. Dont see that combo very often. After losing a few we ended up back at the camp with 15 ducks and 2 specks.
On a not so happy note, I think my ole huntin buddy is about done. Today was pretty rough on him even though he was pretty excited. He gladly and slowly went and got everything he saw fall but the ones he didnt see he had no desire to put out the effort to find em. Guess he's ready to be a yard dog.
Time for a new one!!!!!
