Well I decided to skip work thismorning (it's nice being my own boss) and hit the river to see if I could down a bird or two. The wind has let up a bit, it was only blowing about 10 mph today but it has wormed up to the upper 40's or 50's not sure (I just know I was hot). Well I tried a new area and found a lot of coot a float so I threw a dozen decs out with no luck. Saw a few duck flocks flying across the river a half mile away and a half dozen geese over head (wish it was Saturday) but other than that nothing was up. I packed it in when a numb nut in a duck boat drove by and right through the coot that were resting scaring them all away.
So, I went to a blind I have had some luck at and it was the same there dead. I tossed my decs again and just watched the coots play out in the chop of the river. Not a thing flying other than a couple gulls and hawks. After an hour I packed it in when a Tidewater barge came by and pushed the coot down stream.
I know coot aren't worth shooting but I'd of shot at them today if I had had the chance just to please my itchy trigger finger.
I've learned something Wind + worm weather = a crap day of hunting
