got up at 3.45 this morning fixed me a peanutbutter sandwich downed it and away to the the duck hole..it was chilly this morning at 31 degrees but i had dressed warmly with also some of them hand warmers in tow...legal shooting time was about 6.30 but it was about 7.00 before we seen any action..i missed a drove of woodies that were a little high but i took the shots anyway..no feathers flew and nothing fell from the sky...jamie shot then at a woodie that was dodgeing those trees at about 6 foot off the water he never touched a feather..then 2 woodies came behind me at about15 foot from the ground this was the best shot for a double i ve had all year. bang bang boy did the bark fly off one tree....yep a clean miss wish i could say there was no shot in those shells but i no better .ha ha....then a single woodie came by and 2 shots latter and still no ducks..jamie then shot two more times hit one but we never retreived it...after that 10 minutes of shooting it was over..we stayed another hour but the ducks had went south.....so now its over for me i m already looking and planing for next year..gona get me a short barrel double with open chokes maybe then i canhit something close anyway...the end for this years duck hunt....charlie
