....shot a limit of birds this year! With all of the new duck commanders spawned over the past year, out delta has been slammed with new hunters, and finding a place to get away from the crowd has gotten a lot harder. Had planned a creek hunt for Woodrow Saturday morning, but waking up to find the Southeast wind blowing 15-20 mph, opted for a bay hunt on the causeway instead. Despite the strong SE wind, we still had fog at daylight
Made it to the blind without incident, and was set up and ready before LST. The morning started off slow, but as the day progressed, the wind got stronger, and finally hard enough to force the birds out of the open water of the bay, looking for the shelter of the smaller bays North of the causeway, and was glad that the fog dissapated. No big numbers of birds, but every 30 minutes or so we would see a few groups gaddies drop in from the skies, and we were able to convince a few to join the party. Hunted until lunchtime, and ended the day with 9 grey ducks, 1 redhead, 1 spoonie, and 1 bufflehead I couldn't resist. Have killed ducks all season, but nowhere close to a limit on any of the trips other than the opener.
