We finished up on Saturday morning with a Canada and 18 ducks- mallards, blacks, ringnecks, woody drake and a greenwing teal. the weather had changed overnight from summer to fall. It was about 40F, overcast, drizzle and swirling, gusty wind of about 20 mph. After Destry and I combined on a single goose at dawn, the next hour was slow and "duckhunter's despair" began to creep into the blind but we began to pick away at them. Both Destry and I shot banded mallard drakes for a total of 3 bands for the trip. We were finished at 10 a.m. Kevin and I left the lodge at 1:00 p.m. and arrived at my home in PA at 9:00...a 498 miles trip door to door.
