Duck Hunting

Saturday we went out and had a great shoot in the morning. The big storm rolled through and the first hour of shooting was a barrel melter. I think that we had 9 or 10 ducks by the time it slowed down. I was not in the boat much because I was out chasing ducks with Guage. I ended up with 2 green wing teal, a drake widgeon, and a gadwall. I think at the end of the day we ended up with 16 ducks between four of us.

The picture below (which didn't turn out very good) is from today. Justin and I went for a walk and I was hoping to find a little more open water than we did. We ended up jumping two gadwalls and a teal, and then a drake ringneck. The ringneck was in a little bit of open water and he was crippled and not going anywhere fast, so I finished him off. The ringneck is in the freezer as part of my growing collection of birds I would like to mount.
