Sat. Oct 24th - Opening Day
Sunrise to 10:30 or Noon
Bryan, Jamin, Tom, Chad and Chad's buddy, Bob
Wind out of South - very light early, picked up about 9 when cloud cover came in
20-25 Duck decoys set to south of blind with two robos
15-20 Goose decoys set to the east and slightly north of the ducks.
Lots of activity right at shooting time, many groups of teal dropping in from every direction, still kind of dark and hard to see. Called the shot a couple times. Had three or four or five teal laying out in the pond but too much activity to get out. Group of five mallards came in, we took 3. Now there are numerous ducks down so Chad and Jamin head out to gather the kill and of course geese fly over and look. Back in the blind, a few groups of mallards are circling and Chad is speaking their language. Two hens drop in and the greenhead comes right at us, we take him (2 more feet and Tom could have caught him). A couple more teal and Jamin and I decide to head out about 10:30. Just as we are getting in the car we hear shots, look toward the blind to see more ducks dropping for the air! It was a good day, my birthday and a new gun!
so how many total?
