Southern Illinois.....
Made the drive down to my home area to hunt the opening two days of duck season with my Father and some friends. We are usually invited to hunt on our friends farm and this year was no exception. Strong numbers of ducks on his pond, more big ducks that I've ever seen there. Lots of mallards and widgeon with a few grey ducks mixed in. The wind blew a gale both days and was wrong for the blinds so it was sort of pass shooting most of the time but we still managed to kill 16 for five guns the first morning. Second morning the wind blew even harder and kept us off the big pond altogether so we moved operations to the wetland. It had just gotten flooded that week so only had a few ducks using it but three of us managed to kill our wood duck limits plus a couple mallards. Good to be out hunting with those boys again, particularly Dad. Might be back again for Thanksgiving, just have to see how work is going before I can say for sure.
