Well, Beaver Dam was slow today, we were out in the Electra 225 Blind in the Southe Trails. To use Nash's phrase, "provender was scarce" We had a 32" DH and a 34" DHE ,both 12g factory long chambered 3 frames, in the blind and the guides a VH and a Fox. About 0800, 7 or 8 gadwalls dropped in and we took 3. Another one snuck in an hour later and I gave it a go but ony managed to cut off a one inch thick cypress branch directly over head. Another group of 15-18 grey ducks worked us hard but pulled up and fled...Ol' Ho'ace would have had a easy day today...mo' tomorrow. A little recce mission this afternoon near Arkabutla Lake found thousands of snows and blues feeding in the fields but precious few ducks. Normally, every other pothole you drive by around here has a few ducks in it...I blame Al Gore...
