Christmas Eve Hunt





What a great morning. We broke a little ice, cleared out a small spot in the swamp to set up the deeks and mojos. Tucked up on the bank and waited for the first flight. Wood ducks were buzzing the tree tops early, as usual. We had some guests with us and gave them the opportunity to take the first shot. Big bunch of Wigeon tried to lite in the deeks about 10 yards out. They dropped a couple and from there it was on. Ended the morning with a handful of ducks, a hot breakfast in the blind and good fellowship all around.

A day on the river




We spent the morning on the river, to our surprise it was just about frozen over. We cut ice all the way to the hole and then had to clear out an area to set decoys. A lot of ducks were in the air. High flyers. We tried our best to get a few to break off and commit with no such luck. Out of no where a drake Canvasback lit right in the deeks. It was a pretty morning, the most turkeys I've seen in one area and a lot of birds over head. When it got slow the robo-duck kept us busy! Lol. Good company, fellowship, and coffee made the hunt.
