12 Long Hours

Yep, that's right.  12 Long hours in the Ditch Wednesday and Thursday and Zero Ducks in the bag.  Hunted the afternoon on Wednesday and had just one bunch of 15 mallards come close, but not close enough as it turned out.  There were ducks here and there all afternoon.  There were some groups of migrants and a few groups that appeared to have already been in the area.
Thursday wasn't much better as 3 minutes before shootin' time had 3 mallards give a great swing but it was a bit too early.  Just before 8AM had a group of 4 mallards work and work and work, could have pulled the trigger once but didn't and the rest is history.  Only saw one bunch of high ducks all morning.  A guy could figure that with this wind and the fact that it's now Nov 4th the ducks should just be flyin' cause mother nature is telling them to, but that is not the case.  Had big winds yesterday and today and while there were quite a few more birds moving Wednesday afternoon, there was  nothing moving Thursday.  The weather looks as if it's holding again until possibly next Wednesday with just a chance of rain predicted.  Mid to upper 60's again for the weekend, and no weather North of here.  Might be time to roll around the countryside and see if you can't get in on a field here or there that last weeks pushers are using, assuming some of them stayed.
That's all for now, check back for the latest and greatest and thanks for all the hits!
