Duck hunt

The duck hunt in Utah has started. The opener found us on a public WMA. There was 5 of us that went and we were the first ones to start out onto the pond, but was passed by a canoe that was rowing faster than I was. We got setup and had a couple hours to spare before the 8:00 a.m. start time. We watched a lot of birds fly by before we were able to shoot. And true to a Utah wma opener we had two groups set up on either side of us about 70-100 yards away. There were only four boats on the pond, and in the mile and a half of shoreline there were 3 boats within 150 yards of each other. We ended up shooting a bunch of ducks, and a mixed bag too. My father-in-law came and has not hunted where there were a lot of ducks in the area so I think he really enjoyed seeing all the birds. We had a coot come in right at about 8:00 and one of the other guys told my father-in-law it was his duck and he shot it not knowing it was a coot until we all started laughing. Two of us ended up with a full limit and the other 3 ended up with 3 or 4 ducks a piece (plus a couple coots). We shot a pair of canvasbacks, and a pair of redheads, and some widgeon, mallards, teal and spoonies. It was a great hunt, unfortunately I didn't get any pictures. I'll make sure and get some next time.
