And Just Like That...

...the migratory action was pretty much over.  After a morning Wednesday/Thursday seeing bunch after bunch of high flying geese, it ended abruptly today with very little movement in the way of continued migration.  The wind is now from the South and it's back to reality after a brief cool down and favorable winds.  The warm air will once again set in and this warmer October/November is going to continue.  A quick hunt this morning, ending at 9AM, reminded us of just how unstable and un-duck-hunter-esk this fall has really been.  Managed to scrape together a half a limit consisting of one teal and one wigeon and one duck carcass.  A slight oversight in the size of ammunition thrown toward the heavens left the first teal almost unrecognizable.  Made and adjustment from 3 1/2 BB Heavy Metal to 2 3/4 inch 6 shot for the reaming round.  Much better choice.

Heard from the South Ditch, and they never fired a single shot and saw less than a handful of groups of ducks, no group with more than 10.  So there you have it, today's action, or lack thereof, for this Friday before Halloween.  Any change in weather is not really predicted for the next 10 days so slow goin' is probably what we're gonna have for a little longer. 

That's all for now, check back for the latest and greatest and thanks for all the hits.
