Don't know.... I can see a bunch of "Smilin Mallard" hens!!!!

All these duck threads were making me feel left out...

I'm not a real waterfowler, but had a little time this morning (but not enough to deer hunt) so I grabbed a bag of dekes and headed to the wildlife area this morning. Unfortunately I watched a guy pull into the spot I hoped to hunt just 30 seconds ahead of me. It's too small to hunt two groups so I rolled on to a backup spot, broke a little ice and tossed out some decoys. Before legal light arrived I had two splashdowns. When the phone alarm went off I sat up, ducks sprang off the water and pulled the trigger on my new Remington V3 for the very first time. 20 minutes later and I see a solo duck in the distance locked in on my spread. She cupped up, glided in the last 100 yards and I shot her at less than 20 yards. Except from some tiny little divers that kept swimming through the edge of my spread that ended my action for the morning. I was only able to sit for an hour but killed a couple which puts me above the annual average for this WA so far this year. All in all not a bad way to spend a short morning.

South Louisiana this morning.[img][/img]

Solid cast and blast this past weekend in the Galveston East/trinity bay area, we didn't get a lot of ducks but we shot every one that flew in

Had a great hunt down on the coast with some work customers last week. The usual crowds of redheads and pintails, but was pleasantly surprised to see a ton of widgeon. Glad there are no special limits on those as they easily made up 50%+ of our bag all three days.



Decided to go jump our farm tank after work today and that was a $300 mistake. I've been after a wood duck and mallard to get mounted and now I can scratch the wood duck off the list. Really happy with this one.
