This weekend turned out to be pretty fair. We saw a lot of ducks but had to work pretty hard to kill to limit out. Thanks to some good shooting and some excellent retrieves on cripples by our Lab we managed to get the limit out of the few ducks that actually worked.
lots of birds flying saturday. mallards mixed with $#!+ ducks
very few flying sunday.
And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-everything that has the breath of life in it, they will be your food.
Friday we killed 14 wood ducks
and
Sunday we killed 3 wood ducks.
I wish We had some other kind of ducks down here but thats about all we ever kill is woodies.
Through the years we might get 2 or 3 mallards a year and some merganzers but thats about it.
She should have never stuck her head in that metal square.
Didn't get to go hunting because of the boys surgery. Both were soar as hell friday and saturday. Sunday, they felt a little better. Thats when I went and checked the lone trap I set out saturday afternoon.
Opening weekend in AR a total of 19 hirds. A mixture of mallards, gadwall, teal and a couple of spoonies. Could have been worse. I'll be back after them this coming Sat. and using the layout blind rather than the pit.
saturday- 4 hunters
5 GADW
1 Black Duck (took a boy on his first duck hunt and he shot another one down but couldn't find it; sure woulda been a good first duck)
Sunday- didnt go, tailgate wouldnt open
My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am
