Ok, ok I know someone is going to ask. . . "Hey what about Thursday?". . . well let me tell you that when I got up at 3:00 on Thursday morning and it was raining cats and dogs! Unfortunately, by the time it rolled around to legal shooting it had simmered down to a light drizzle. . .I could have kicked myself for not going out in the rain on Thursday. . . I heard shots echoing up and down the lake all morning. If anyone had good luck on Thursday DON'T TELL ME!
Decided that Friday I would try something new and motored into a new spot to try my luck. First thing in the morning I had a Male and Female Hooded Merganser float into my spread and I took the Drake at about 20 yards with a shot of #4 Remington HV. I "thought" that maybe my luck would change and I might see a few mallards or blacks BUT the mergansers were the only ducks I saw all day. It was so cold with the North wind blowing, at what I thought had to be 50 miles per hour, that I had to crawl into my decoy bag to keep from freezing to death. I finally had to call it quite at 9:30 when I could no longer feel my feet.
Man, I must love duck hunting.
Anyone else out Friday and almost turn into a popsicle?
