Went out to hunt this morning and the weather was perfect for it. Cloudy with a little mist of rain and the wind in the right direction for a little cove I scouted on Friday. The birds where moving and for once I had found where the they wanted to be. This is my first time to shoot a limit without being on a guided trip. It feels nice for all the work to finally come together. I'm finally learning how much work it actually takes to make it happen. Ended up with 4 widgeon, 1 Mallard, and then a lonely pintail that crashed into the decoys with reckless abandon. It was a great hunt.
Hopefully some of the other places I have scouted turn out like this. I have never scouted and covered the miles that I did this year prior to the season. On question I have is how often do y'all scout during the season? Probably going to do some more next week on a weekday to avoid disturbing any others hunters on public land.
