This Mornings Hunt

[JohnP]

Bull Shoals, Beaver creek area. Should of had a limit of gadwall but didn't see much more than that, a limit. Hunted till 11:30 and approximately 20 ducks all gadwall except for one mixed up greeenhead that was with a pair of gadwall. Heard a few distant volleys of shot about the first hour and it got quite and didn't hear much of anything as far as shooting goes.

We hunted Cockleburr this morning with out anybody else to bother us this morning. Beautiful, cold, and crisp out. Had a few birds work us early and knocked 4 of them out of the sky. Slowed down real quick, so we were outta there by 9. Saw quite a few birds on the main lake on the way back down to empire. Not near as much ice as I was hoping for. This warm up today is not gonna help much. Might go back out one more day, but other than that, I think I'm done this season.

Here ya about the ice and when I left it was melting and breaking up pretty quick. As cold as it was suppose to get I was expecting beaver to be iced up but it was fairly open other than shoreline ice out about 10 ft. The pocket I was in had some but was more open than I expected as well.
