Finally

[Deltaman]

Having two Wood Duck hunts under my belt in our Upper Delta this year, with 0 to show for it, finally had a decent solo hunt on the causeway last Friday. Spent a hour scouting to find a few Gadwalls sitting out in the open in a huntable area, and another hour cutting Roseau, built a blind and finally got set up at 9:37 a.m. First few to check me out, would not commit, so I moved a few decoys around and added two flock-a-fickr's to the spread for add'l visual, and that seemed to turn the trick. Not a lot of traffic, but enough, and I shot well (had a triple and a double), and by 11:40 a.m., had 6 gadwalls in the boat. Considering the pressure these birds receive, felt damn good to kill a limit! Sorry, no pics, but of the 4 drakes, three of them were studs. Felt damn good to finally shoot a few birds, and hated that my stepson was in Atlanta (at a Widespread Panic concert over the weekend), and missed out. Went back to the same area Sunday, but it was a bluebird day with very little bird movement, but did manage to shoot 1 gadwall and 1 Do Gris.

Glad you hit it right.

One hunt like that can surely change your game! Glad it paid off

Have heard reports of some wigeon and pintail being killed down your way. Hope you can string that into a few good hunts!

DE, have seen a sprinkling of Pintail (saw a lone drake Sunday), and a few Widgeon taken, but mostly Gadwalls and some GW Teal, along with the occasional Do Gris and Redhead. No big numbers of anything, not even coot.

Man I used to get excited when big numbers of coots would show up down there in October.

Mighty fine, morning...

I shot well (had a triple and a double)

It doesn't take long to get 6 that way. Nice shooting.

Good news for sure. Keep at it.

Reads like a good time!
