Title: Slow day
Post by: asmith on November 10, 2015, 02:14:36 PM

Pretty slow day today.  Went out again with Bill W and hit some ponds.  Only one bird down and a couple misses.  Didnt see a whole lot even flying around.  Had about 4 honkers fly over us about 20 yards up.  They where lucky it wasnt Wednesday.  Still always a good time to be able to get out there.

I missed the double.  Should of had the drake hoodie as well.  Would have mounted them then.  But still my first hoodie.

I just cut the breast meat out.  Figured I would salt and pepper it, then fry in bacon fat.  After letting it sit in the fridge for a couple days to get the blood out.

I have a buddy that says if you eat a hoody right away it is pretty decent, the next day though is a different story. I haven't tested this myself since they normally just end up in the jerky pile.

Yep, I could hardly see the end of my barrel the fog was so thick at times.  Bagged one ring neck and didn't get a shot at her girlfriend.  Didn't see anything else.

Blue bird day but still managed a limit of wigeon and teal.... we could really use some ugly weather.

Molly the wild dog made her first open water retrieve on this duck.  Thanks for coming down and going out.
