Vincenzia and I got out tonight. Man oh man was a shooting like crap! I was saving this field for tomorrow but we lost a lot of birds from yesterday with the Northwind. As we are walking in a hawk was flying around the field scaring everything up. I would say a quart of the birds came back. I ended up with nine and she shot 11. Of course she was pretty stoked that she shot better than me.
I guess the craziest part of the hunt was Vincenzia shot a dove that landed in a bunch of cattails. Reaper ran in to retrieve it and came out with a hen gadwall. Thankfully no harm was done to her. I was able to carry her back into the cattails. Very minimal water in there. Put her on the shoreline, she walked into the water and quacked at me a few times.
Besides missing a lot, the most frustrating part was the battery on my shotkam was dead. Well I hope that’s what the problem was!
