Wednesday- cloudy and warm. Me, Munro and Lerch. 6 mallards, early.

Thursday - Me and Munro - pretty cloudy again. 7 mallards, 3 teal and a woodie. Things looking up.

Friday - Me, Munro, little brother and cousin. colder and not as cloudy. 16 mallards!

Saturday - Me Lerch and brother - 11 mallards

Sunday - Me, Munro, Lerch and Brother - poor hunt. same spot. 6 malards and 1 gadwall.

overall poor season. There were birds, but much fewer than everyone expected and, I think, much fewer than even in the past few years. They could be found and hunted, at times. This last week was only the second time this season we had consecutive limits from the same spot. On the third day this past week, the birds looked and went elsewhere.

One other very perplexing point: I DID NOT KILL ONE SINGLE GADWALL THIS YEAR! WHY? Only 3 were taken in my presence this year. We usually survive in the South Delta on Gadwalls early in the season. ANyone have any reasons for this, or is it just an abarition?

WERE YOU ON A RESERVE OR SOMETHING? I DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE THAT MANY MALLARDS IN THE WHOLE STATE!I DIDN'T KILL BUT MAYBE 15 ALL YEAR LONG. BOUND TO BE ONE HELL OF A YEAR NEXT YEAR, TIME TO START PLANNING NOW.

No. Point is that I came back on Sunday when I could have hunted through Tuesday. I opted for a trout trip with my 3 year old but my Ford didn't cooperate.
