Finally!
« on: November 10, 2013, 04:46:41 PM »
Slow morning with the mild weather, but finally got some birds to work the decoys.  Only came away with a gadwall but it was just awesome watching birds cup and and do their thing.

Side note:  Stood up to take em' and I downed my bird while I wondered why my hunting buddy wasn't shooting at the second bird…."I went to squeeze the trigger and the dang safety was still on." 

Just another blind story that makes duck hunting fun. :)

Hey Kiltit, you sure that's a Gadwall, it looks like a hen Pintail to me. Did it have a bluish-gray bill & a green speculm.

Your grey duck sure looks pinny!  Just be thankful you didn't shoot a limit of seven of them as the limit is two of them.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!
