Waterfowl Responsiveness: Sweet when we'd let 'em.
Hunters: 2, father who hasn't hunted in years and grown son who was a much steadier, more experienced hand.
Guns:Malfunctions:Dog(s): I wore the poor bug to a nub looking for mallard that lit way the hey and a boat ride out, to no avail. But he was aces on a mottled that dove as soon as it hit the pond and slipped out and off to the races unseen until the bug hit his track and finally snagged him in broken marsh.
Special Equipment: sos
Curses: Took too long to work out our costly crowd control issues.
Kudos: Nice guys still had a big time, thanks to a few mallards they let do it right.
