History Repeats Itself.

No, really . . . it DOES. Exhausted, but not broken, I returned to the Home Field Blind with the Don, J-Hawk, and our Mystery Guest this morning. Once again, the Mystery Guest had to leave within 15 minutes of shooting light, but he took his two shovelers with him when he left. I was late, 'cause I was tired. That notwithstanding, I wasn't gonna let the chance to bring those numbers back up pass me by.

As per the norm, we came out with limits, and those limits were comprised of mostly shovelers. 20 Ducks, including 2 Mallards, 1 Wigeon, 1 GWT, and 16 Boot-lipped Shovelers.
