Very Picky Day

The Duck season is finally starting.  It's not a huge start like last years snow storm on opening day but it's sure nice to see some new ducks around the area.  Not much in the way of Mallards, but plenty of Pintail and Teal still floating around and pushing South.  Had to be choosy today cause the amount of Pintail around.  Started the day with a drake followed by a couple teal and then a hen.  One guy walked out with 4 ducks and left early.  Still a ton of Shovelers around and decided not to fire at them today.  Was impressed with the shooting today at more season-like and realistic targets.  The B52's from Sunday weren't quite as hard to hit.  A nice small push of little ducks has begun.  Been hearing conflicting stories about the weather the next 10-14 days, dare I say "Duck Doctor" anytime soon?  Best refrain from that for now!  We are just 10 days away from November, which is hard to believe as nice as it's been for the fair weather lovers, me I hate it.  I'm certain most of you do too.  The first week of November generally brings a push of Mallards, but I'm guessing it may be moved back just a bit.  We'll be back in the Ditch tomorrow and a post will come again for those of you who are interested.  That's all for now, check back for the latest and greatest and thanks for all the hits!
