Duck report

[Al Bundy]

Saturday morning temp was in the twenties with screaming south wind. Just about ideal duck hunting weather. Snow stopped by the time I left for waters edge which I was happy about.  Got going late and birds were flying while setting up. Lots of birds... I threw out 8 or so decoys haphazardly while birds flew by. One black got real close and my hunting buddy dropped it. My lab did great and made a long swim out. She didn't seem to mind the weather one bit.  

Ended up Iimited on blacks and had a few mallards. Great opening morning.

Chased snows after and found them in two different fields. First was posted like crazy and we couldn't go out. Shame as birds were easily shootable. Second field no posted signs. I knocked at the owners door and was met by a rather stern faced woman. Before I could finish my sentence she interrupted me and said in a somewhat loud voice....".NO. NEVER . NEVER EVER EVER NEVER NEVER."  This is a quote and I had not even asked to hunt yet. I smiled and said have a very nice holiday season and left. Kind of wish I was not so polite.  So... struck out for snows.

 This morning was a "bluebird" morning. Sun was out and no wind. Ducks flew some though and we got more blacks. Buddy got a band this morning. Banded 2013 about 15 miles away. 

More snows in posted fields also today. One more day left... hope for a good morning.

Geeze, Dan.....I get the same response from women but usually it's when I ask them for a date...
