JohnP Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Not complaining as I'd rather eat teal over mallards anyways, but will admit it's hard to beat watching mallards work and commit to a spread. Awsome day for a GWT shoot today even tho it was 0 degrees at sunrise (the small fire helped knock the chill off ). Took us literally all day to finish out our 4 man limit but it wouldn't of mattered if we did or didn't as the harvest is just the icing on the cake. One of the guys had to leave early so the pic is of a 3 person limit. Total count 22 GWT (21 drakes and 1 hen), 1 hen mallard, and 1 gaddie. Had a flock of 100 plus mallards work us good but just wouldn't come down below the tree tops especially with a bald eagle hovering over the field behind us. Shot a few early but the majority were taken after 10:30. Bass Yakker, Ron Burgundy, Johnsfolly and 9 others 12
Johnsfolly Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Congrtas on a great hunt! The dogs look content and those teal should be pretty tasty. JohnP 1
mhowerton Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Awesome hunt. Teal are my favorite duck to shoot especially when they come into the decoys in big groups. JohnP 1
BilletHead Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Well done John! My bust is your boom. You deserve it buddy so ride it while you can. Love me some green wings.

DADAKOTA Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Looks like an awesome hunt John. Can't believe green wings are still hanging around but they sure are. JohnP 1

That's it was. This is when I start seeing greenwing down here but still not seeing very many greenheads and gadwalls like we normally do on the big water or up tje creeks down here when the small and shallow waters ice up and hardly any divers, used to seeing rafts of ringnecks and have yet to see them. Been seeing a good group of hooded mergansers other than that.
