I took my nephew out this AM to the club , as we had a youth hunt
4 Youth this AM , 6 Sunday AM and then a pheasant hunt after the AM hunt
Pic's to follow , as they are supposed to email me the pic's
The blind we hunted
Is great to hunt , but it has 2' of water and 2' of muck under the water
So as I have retired Simmon my lab , I had to retreive the ducks with the canoe
And the wind made life tough on me
He had a blast
It started great
Even witth or because of the 20-30 MPH N wind and light rain
Oh Dark 7:01 shooting time came and we could not make out the decoys at 20 yds
But we could here a goose in them
About 7:10 it was light enough to shoot safely
So we stood up and I threw a rock at the goose
As it started to leave , it recieved a load of #2 steel and it turned belly up
Before I even had a chance to get it he droped a Woodie into the decoys
That made the trip better
Within 10 more min another woodie was on the water
Then a Spoonie
Then a pair of Meganzers ,normaly we don't shoot them but we let the kids shoot
Then 3 BW teal landed 10' in front of the blind
We stood up and the teal jumped ......#1 teal was hit at 20' or less
Saved 1 of the breasts but the rest was burger
He hit #2 teal at 15 yds , so it was OK to include in the pic's
Had several more chances to finish both the goose and duck limmit
But the rest of the geese would not finish
The rest of the AM the ducks didn't play nice
But He had a ball trying
Back out in the AM for another round of fun
