Title: One of my better hunts
Post by: vandeman17 on January 09, 2016, 01:05:31 PM: Wasn't even sure I was going to head out this morning but finally decided I might as well since the season is winding down. I am glad I did. Not tons of birds but the ones there worked my spread perfectly. 25 minutes and 11 shells later and I had my limit. Only disappointing part was hearing some jack wagons shooting at least 20 minutes before shooting time. :bash:

Thanks. Half the reason I go is because I know how much they love it.

Drake gadwall. Stoned him from point blank so he got a bit torn up.

Just kidding, on a side note, if you or et or anyone else shoots a good clean gadwall hen, protect and save it and I'll pick it up this weekend if/when i meet up with you guys

Of course. We need to try and squeeze in at least one hunt over the next few weeks.

Hey, I've been there to, and it is a hike. Was planning on hitting the hole on Thursday, while all of you are at work...lol Just kidding too. We definitely need to all get together for a hunt soon! Paul's still over there this week chasing roosters, and Scott and I are heading over either Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Also, if we shoot a hen Gaddy, will save her for you Ben.

Post by: vandeman17 on January 12, 2016, 09:56:50 AM: The roosters were as thick as thieves out there this weekend. I had probably a half dozen cackling around me. If the duck hunting wasn't hot I might have went and shot a few but after my quick hunt I decided I had enough weight to pack out as is. :chuckle:

Both by Bucko. The one on the right is actually from their kennel.
