Been hitting the ducks pretty hard here lately. Took my dad out last Thursday, first time we had duck hunted together in years. It was a bunch of fun shooting sunshine mallards with our old Browning Auto 5's. We weren't set up very well at first light, but a quick move at 8 had up pretty much on the X. Over the next two hours, we had probably close to a thousand teal, wigeons and gadwalls land at our feet, while we waited to fill out on our mallards. Those Momarsh chair blinds are awesome.
The next morning was fairly uneventful. Hunted a different spot, and saw very few birds. Thankfully what saw worked great, and I killed every bird I shot at.
Got out this morning, and killed my two bonus ducks right at shooting time, and decided to wait for the mallards.... 4 hours later, the mallards finally decided to work. Got tired of waiting on my last greenhead, so I wacked a teal, and headed home.
Tomorrow is supposed to be cloudy/rainy, so the excellent decoying I've been enjoying will probably slow.
