And it begins......
Made my first duck hunt of the season on Sunday afternoon over in Canada. We were hunting on the Walpole Indian Reservation, my new friend Allen Isaac was doing the work. We went out too early, sat and suffered the heat / mosquitos till the sun got down a bit, then the shooting started. It wasn't red hot but we managed to pick up 10 birds between the four of us. Believe we had four mallards, one bluewing teal, and the rest greenwing. Good way to start the season but I'm certainly ready for some cooler weather.
Had the big 34 inch DHE of course, it performed as expected. Made one good long shot on a flaring teal after everybody else was empty. Makes a man feel like he knows what he's doing when he pulls one out like that. Shame I don't.....
