We finished up our Mississippi trip with a total of 27 ducks over 3 days including a bluebill drake and a spoonie hen shot over some catfish ponds that we shot on one afternoon. These ponds were filled with ruddies even they proved quite "eloosive fowls" in Ho'ace's parlance. There were lots of snows around but no real way to get at them. There were gadwalls, too, in the air high over Beaver Dam on Sunday mawnin' but they just would not cooperate. We made the 1100 mile return trip without incident. Now I have to figure out when I can get done to my club in the Upper Chesapeake for somemore duck hunting below the Mason-Dixon Line.
Monday's Beaver dam report was 6 teal and 5 mal'larts.
