Glad you made it out and had fun.
I have had many a day like yours. Lot of new guys out this year. Lot more bad shooting this year than most.
3 or 4 weeks ago I limited in blind 8, you heard them shooting behind you, to the left.
Had 5 birds in 30 minutes, then couldn't hit my arse with both hands. Took 12 shells for the first 5, then the last 13 shells for the last 2.
Today was better. 3 birds with 9 shots. The last bird folded like a wet rag. Spoonie. Most damage I have inflicted on a bird this year.
I thot my sight picture looked different on that bird. My bead sight came off sometime during the morning shoot.
Had a double in the dekes, both widgeon. Killed 1 outright. the other tried to fly after it was hit. She lifted off and turned, i hammered her. Unbeknownst to me, 1 of my decoys took a direct hit.
A drake pinnie came over and spooked. he circled back and spooked again.
I went out to check the dekes, and the injured deke was listing heavy and sinking.
I was out by 1100. cold as hell, forgot my heater.
I am jobless, so momma said I can hunt if I do my chores. I will be out there everyday after the newyears day closure. Got a new sight for the shotty today.
Give me a holler.
