I haven't been deer hunting

 With the onset of firearms season I have taken this week off from deer hunting to do some duck hunting. It felt pretty good to get in the boat and sit on the water for a while. I hunted 3 days including today and I could've filled my limit with the bufflehead that seemed to always be around. Since I try no to shoot divers I just watched them play around and check out my decoys. I did get a shot at a mallard but just managed to shoot down a branch from the tree I was under. I have seen ducks everyday just seems most days they didn't want to have anything to do with me. 

That was except for Monday when I saw the most ducks and was the most unprepared, being my first day out and all. I had a couple flocks of green wing teal zip in and out before I knew what was happening. Once I figured it out I was able to put one on the water.

They sure a pretty little duck, I don't shoot many so it's a real treat when I can get one or two. I also had a flock of blue wing teal shoot by but they didn't want to give me a decent shot.

So yeah one little duck is all I got for hours of sitting in the boat watching the ducks and the water. 

Pretty good week.

Goose opens on Saturday so we'll see what will happen next week.
