Saturday, January 1, 2011, Blake, John, Jordan, Reece, Haun, & the Gipper took a morning trip to Chucks. It was slow, to say the least, and at 9:45 a.m. we had decided that we would call it a morning at 10:00 a.m. Our hope was to get from the 9 ducks we had to the 12 ducks we wanted to preclude dropping our average bird/day kill. Well, things got better. We left at noon with 36 birds, including 9 Mallards, 1 Gadwall, 6 Specks, and 20 Shovelers.

36 Birds
9 Mallards
6 Specks
1 Gawall
20 Shovelers

Total Harvest: 439
B.P.D. 11.86
23 Days of season left.
If we kill 3.3 birds each day between now and the end of season, we'll break the record for total birds harvested in a season. On the other hand, if we have three more days where we kill 26 or more, we'll break the record in 3 hunts.
