Time: day off so we hung till noon then did some spread tinkering and pit maintenance
Location: pit blind
Cloud Cover: mostly clear
Wind Direction and Velocity: light to 10-15 south
Temperature: 40’s to 60’s
Barometer:
Moon phase:
Special Notes: Colin shot very well
Waterfowl Activity: ducks decent for first hour then slow, geese about the same with a few trickling through till about 10 when it all stopped
About 9:40 a big mass of about 500 at least (90% spoons) came from south. About 75 broke down and skirted just outside the decoys. Had they been inside 30 yards we would have tore into them, probably still could have shot a few but the thoughts of dropping 4 or 5 made me greedy.
Waterfowl Responsiveness: the 3 specks came in perfect, all singles. Had a pair of wigeon hang up on me at 80 yards for what seemed like 10 passes.
Hunters: Eric and Colin
Guns:
Malfunctions: I had a misfire on first speck but Colin cleaned it up.
Dog(s):
Special Equipment: again no spinners, sold them to a guide in the area.
Kudos: Colin shot well and even though the ducks disappointed, I’ll never complain about 3 specks.
curses: wind was pretty much dead during what duck flight we had
Birds By Species:
3 specks
1 gadwall
1 shoveler
Photo Ops:
Sunrise pics
Lagniappe: plugged the dog box drain hole that actually puts more water in the pit than out.
