took my cousin duck hunting for the first time today, & had a pretty good hunt
all together we managed to get 8 ducks
2 oldsquaws
3 redheads
1 lesser scalp
1 widgeon
1 mallard
I also marked log out by # 17 with a white barrel while I had the boat out
We made alot of the usual mistakes but had a great time, I'm pretty sure my cousin is hooked for good now
how did everyone else out there make out?

| My apology.Those are definately Old Squaws. I have seen some in the spring on the bay, but never this time of year. Pictures are worth a thousand words. |
