Weather Got the Best of US

Non stop ducks 15 minutes before shootin' time got a guys hopes up a bit.  There were all species of smaller ducks flippin' around just before it was legal.  Even had a drake Wood Duck land in the Deeks.  Then it happened.  Shootin' time.  Had one big bunch of teal land outside the deeks and a surprising group of 4 Mallards that escaped any and all steel.  They left unscathed,  not because of shooting but because "one more swing" was on their side.  Passed up two decent shots and regretted it for the rest of the time out there.  Left without firing a shot.
"Not So Sure Shot - Have you not learned anything in the past years? One more swing is the kiss of DEATH and not for the ducks. TAKE EM WHEN YOU CAN!". Said our friend DukMaster.

Saw about 10 or so bunches of migrating ducks way up there, normally you would complain about the heights, but it's a good sign of things to come.  Ran by Desoto today and saw snow geese that haven't been there the last few times by and 5 huge swans.  There seemed to be an influx of Canada Geese over there but observed very few ducks.   Hoping to fire some shots again this weekend.  That's all for now, check back for the latest and greatest and thanks for all the hits.
