JohnP Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Very few birds seen today. Thought we'd see a lot more birds flying ahead of this front but it wasn't so, atleast on the section of BS we were on. Started out seeing a pair of mergs fly up the creek right at shooting time and 15 mins they back thru never really offering a shot. About 8am 3 greenheads and a hen give us a sneak attack fly thru and continued on down the creek, hit em with a quick "come on back" call and they promptly whipped a Uey and circled us twice before callin' the shot. Managed to drop the drake on the second shot, 1st shot rocked him but didn't fold him so followed up with another which brought him down and threw a hail mary shot at another drake with no luck. Glanced over to see the hen folding up and to watch the other 2 drakes kick it into high gear outta there. Sat till 9:30 without seeing another when out of nowhere 3 gaddies dumped outta the clouds and preceeded to land about 500 yds down the creek and they wanted nothing to do callin'. Sat for about another hour before callin it a day. All in all a good day just to be out. One thing I have noticed this compared to years past is a increase in bald eagles and got me to thinking if that might have something to do with the lack of ducks I'm seeing in the areas we hunt???
