Sit still, try getting a camo shotgun, and paint your face black
Try a different barrel sticker.
Ask the hot chick at the bar where the ducks are at and if she likes duck sausage.
Buy more decoys and you really need nine mojos.

Let me talk to your dog and give him some good pointers. Maybe he can teach you a thing or two. :lol:

Never been to nodak. But ive heard it takes a lot if miles. Find a pothole with birds and sit there. If you have to kick some up when you set up don't shoot at them. That's what I've gathered from reading about nodak trips at least. Good luck!!

Thanks for the shells! I shot pretty well, of course after shooting at longtail riding a 25 knot tail wind knocking down these mallards was dodgeball with fat kids. Those loads were knocking them down out to 50.

Stoned a passing snow at 60 plus. Dead on arrival.

Couple wigeon, couple gaddies, couple greenwings involved. Mostly flybys right at shooting time.

I'm surprised enough you survived the weekend with the Jehler crew much less a knockout out of state hunt. Fine job Bill, fine job.

Kansas to hunt with family. Been going down there for 5 or so years. If we hit it right it gets real bloody.

Don't think so. He was in MI with John a few weeks ago, and now ND with others.
