Pops and I took Dan (my nephew) out for youth hunt day to the CT River Saturday.
Set up a small decoy spread off the main river and picked out a spot for him to sit in the brush.
I anchored the boat down stream and paddled back to the spot in the aqua pod. At shooting time had loads of ducks and geese flying around us but we were not in their flyway this year.
We did have two separate singles come in to the spread and the kid splashed them both in one shot, one mallard and one black. I don't know who was more surprised by this Dan or I. Seems like all the misses last year were not in vain after all.
Three years in a row we had deer in the decoys, I have got to try this during the regular deer season
I'll have some pictures tomorrow.
