Well got out to one of our local rivers with a friend for a hunt. What a morning we had !! This was a first for me... never hunted out of a boat.
We put out the decoys, some store bought and the others hand made. Got set up in an old blind in a reed patch and a short time later the birds were flying. Saw lots of whistlers, mallards, buffies, a couple of old squaw and geese.
We didn't manage to get any geese to cooperate however we did manage our limit with 9 whistlers, 2 buffies and 1 hen blue bill.
Still lots of birds in the area and hope to make it out again soon. Had a great time and this was my first hunt bringing home a limit of divers.
Here are a few pictures of morning on the water.
