Title: almost only mallrds today. allot of birds flying but they did not want to commit
Post by: NW-GSP on December 12, 2015, 03:23:21 PM: Almost only mallards today but it was hard to get them into shooting range. The ones that did come in had wings locked and came in really close.

It was allot of fun. My dog did great and we ended up with all mallards except for the one teal my buddy shot.

Looks like you did well.

I saw more birds then I have all season today. We did not go five minutes without seeing birds. They would come in just out of range and then circle around a few times and then slowly bug out.
