Headed out to the river this morning, gorgeous Bluebird day, I've forgotten what it's like to have sun on the water all day.
Took one of the old girls out, a French 16ga sxs, she's pushing 100 yrs old, but still lively in the hands and deadly on the ducks.
The ducks decoyed well, Mallards, Widgeon, Pintail and even a few teal are still around. I think all the animals knew it was the last day. First three Otter came to play in the decoys, then a small seal had to check the decoys out one at a time. A couple Eagles came and spent a few minutes hanging out near the blind resting on a root ball and finally a herd of elk came out on the flat and started grazing just up from me.
I just love duck hunting here, hunted all day on public land and saw one boat of guys and they just motored out of sight and hearing.
I hope everyone is having as much fun as I've had this season. I hunted the first two weeks of the season with a partner and the rest of it alone, just me and the dog what a great season.
