Right Back Where We Left Off

Okay, so the rains haven't been good to us. By this point, we were hoping for bags filled with yellow bills and green heads. Well, it just hasn't worked out that way. Everything is under deep water. The snow geese are so pervasive that we can't hold the stubble on a levee on any field on the farm. The specks are presently as intelligent as the snows. And finally, the shovelers won't give us a break to shoot mallards, which we should probably be thankful for.

Nonetheless, we're still killing birds, and killing 'em by the dozen. Today the Baker Boys, J-Hawk, Johnny & I threw up a levee blind on the Jones field. It should be noted that it is a rare treat to get to hunt that field with any expectation of heavy bags. It did not dissapoint, numerically speaking. Somewhat clear skies helped pave the way to leaving the field only 3 ducks short of a 5-man limit. 31 Birds altogether. Will post a pic later.
