Ten Pointer
Piedmont hunt.
Well like the title says this is my last day to hunt before the end of the season. I've got to work tomorrow through Saturday.
All in all it was a good hunt. Even though I didn't kill any ducks today.
And gosh it was cold my mustache and goatee froze up oh, it was 18 degrees when I went out this morning
Since the water was down on the river I was hunting, I had to go to an alternate Cove. Now I was in a 15 ft gheenoe with a trolling motor. All the small coves had a thin layer of ice. Now I found a nice little open spot that I was able to tuck my Gheenoe behind the tree and pull it up on the bank. I set me up a few decoys, a couple ripplers, and 2 flock a flickers. The wood ducks started flying right at first shooting light, I really enjoy listening to them as they fly, I was able to call two of them in but they surprised me they came in on my left, and my decoys were at my front right, the wood ducks came in about 10 minutes apart, only about 20 yards from me and about 30 yards for my decoys. I think they were going to scope out the decoys. Anyway I was kind of exposed to the, Ducks where they , so when I reach for my shotgun, hanging on the the tree they busted me and I shot and missed.
About 9 I left to do some further scouting down stream on the river. I jumped two wood ducks and then 4 more wood ducks. Then I jumped a group of about 20 to 30 mallard of course all these ducks saw me before I saw them but I was happy to see them in our area. And of course since I was under trolling motor I would not have shot at them anyway. It was just good to see some ducks.
Great morning to be out hunting, listening to the woods ducks, and all the rest of the wildlife oh, heck I even saw a big deer.
