Title: Silencer needs shooting lessons
Post by: Silencer on November 23, 2008, 04:26:29 AM
It was 17 when I first got out there, not bad until the wind kicked up.
The setup I have is on a corn field that borders the river. To be honest if my shooting were better I should have had some green heads. Only 1 small flock of mallards worked my goose spread. The geese stayed at the same spot on the river all day right in town. Musta been 80 or more.
I seen more waterfowl in one day yesterday than all season long.
Most were working the river and with no boat I didnt want to shoot and loose any.
I'd seen drake and hen hooded mergs, drake and hen common mergs, and tons of drake mallards, hardly an hens.
I also witnessed a bald eagle try and take a mallard right in front of me.
I really need to invest in a boat for sure !!!

This is all I have to show  :madd: heres a quick pic of my setup, the river is directly behind me about 25yds, I dont have a layout blind so I built a blind in the brush. Should have had some dead ducks in there to show but oh well
