Duck season is coming to an end with only one week left. This year has been good but not great. The first split of the season was just amazing. Every week we got our limits, with just mexican squealers, teal and a few black jacks, and grey ducks. My dad was happy that we got limits but wasn't happy that most of the big ducks, like green heads and pintail were gone. Even the real were thinned out. But we were packed with squealers.
The second split was terrible at the beginning. But my brother my dad and I hunted for 8 days straight during Christmas. We had guest coming everyday. The most we had was ten. It was extremely hard to get everybody into two small mud boats, but we did it. After walking 300 hundred yards each day cause all of our blinds were filled up we got a total of 265 ducks. That is what I call a hunt. My favorite hunt of those 8 days was when me and Willy D hunted together and the first day we got 12 and everybody else got 0 and 5. It was awesome. But the next day Will and I hunted at a different spot and only got 5. We got bored and started to walk around in the marsh of through reeds and try to get up some ducks. Well we didn't go far when I fell five or six times. The temperature was
in the mid 30s which was extremely cold when I got water in my pants.
This season has been great. We have killed a total of 606 ducks which is a record for our group. But next year I hope to get a lot more.
My Dad hunts a lot and comes home to complain that he hasn't gotten near as many ducks as he did last year. At least you got a good bit over christmas.
ReplyDeleteThis season went by so fast. I can't believe it's over. Our season was alright, but not great, kind of like you said. We never got any squeelers and got a few greenheads, but mostly teal and blackjack.
