water galore,
be careful what you wish for kt, a week ago, i was worried the duck season was going to consist of 10 guys around a 100yd puddle. well i said i wanted some rain, now make it stop, if it rains any more, i wont be able to cross the road i drive in to get to my spot. saturday over night the size of the place i hunt has increased easily by 400%. only problem is when the place fills up it isnt exactly hip boot territory. so this morning i sit on RR tracks waiting for shooting time. i eased into the water and 3 foot from the track it is 4.5 ft deep. decided i should take them close only. after passing about 40 woodies that would have made for a tough retrieve, a nice drake flew right up the tracks to me at 20yds i mashed him and he dropped in the water right at my feet getting me soaking wet with a huge plop. fired two other shots at a nice bird but he just left me some tail feathers to watch float down. still owe somebody a nice bird this one has some plumage issues that make him only 98% of what i would have mounted.
2 days left!
