Nice Night

[Adam Bomb]

My brother and I headed out to an area that we cut our teeth on shooting wood ducks and the occasional mallard. We headed there because we were a duck short each this morning. We were hoping to kill a couple woodies or mallards to fill out our 2 man limit for the day. We got out because another buddy of ours stopped by. So, we never made it out until 4 or a bit later. We paddle on down to the spot and kick up 6 mallards that were loafing right where we always used to hunt. So, we set dekes up where the birds were and hid on the river bank in our usual spot. Things wer slow so we just BS'ed about this mornings hunt, turkey hunting and old times. Finally around 5:30 pm we were interupted when two woodies came zipping through. Unfortunately we didnt see em until they were in the shooting hole...Problem....our guns lay on the river bank beside us. They came down the shoot about mach 5. They were there and gone...we never even reached for our guns. So, then we started paying attention again. We never saw another bird the rest of the evening. Even though we never fired a shot, it was a great night in the marsh.

Adam, You got that right. Any time out with good friends and family, is well worth the effort. shooting the Chit is better than shooting the ducks.
