BilletHead Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Just a couple short hunts, Yesterday I went solo. Running late by the time I picked a spot it was shooting time. Threw out the decoys and sat for a couple hours and was gifted a wood duck. This is by far the nicest one I have ever shot. The blues were vivid and bright, This morning the Mrs. was off work. I asked do you want to go and there was a quick yes. Went back to same area this time we were running time wise perfect. Sky was beginning to brighten up behind Pat as she was waiting, This morning we scored on three ducks. Two blue wings and another wood duck. Big ducks were working some and there were some near misses. One of those deals when you hunt public ground. Get birds working and there was a party set up pretty close, close enough we could hear them hollering at the dog. They would shoot and our working birds would flare. Not complaining it is what it is. Left out around nineish and headed to the house. Grilled the woodies and had salad from the fall garden. Big weather change coming. We will see what it brings. To me the split sucks but again I cannot complain. Did not voice my opinion. With three archery deer between the Mrs. and I would not be deer hunting anyway.

Congrats to you and the Mrs. on a couple successful hunts. Jealous here in Maryland. BilletHead and Daryk Campbell Sr 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marsh was full of them this morning as well as specks.

Terrierman Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I heard speckle bellies and snows both last night. This weather is going to move some birds. Johnsfolly and BilletHead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
