Great day on the water!
Went over to a fellow Outdoor Freaks place last night (pop60) and spent the night, in anticipation of a nice day of duck hunting...we were not disappointed! We caught the birds on a "flight day" where we consistently getting bombarded with groups of 10-30 new ducks, who had never been in the area before. The robo duck did the work and the gun barrels were hot from 6:15AM to noon.
We however were less then stellar shots this morning, which lead to some laughs and even more time spent afield, what a shame!
We ended up with 10 mallards, and 1 gadwall. All in all, a super morning spent on the mighty Mississippi!
Thanks Mr. Staley for the fine hospitality, it was something I will not soon forget!
Here is the view in front of our blind (east)...
Killian, the chocolate lab making his debut at around 4 years of age, didn't do too bad!
About mid morning we took a 10 minute break and scarfed down some delicious breakfast! Tough to beat venison sausage in the duck blind on the river!
This picture just screams "Fall".
Here, Dave (popo60) and Bill pose with Killian and the fruits of our labor!
