Was a short hunt do to Turkey Day food awaiting but it could've easily been a long day. Nothing at first light and we were beginning to wonder why we got out of bed so early. Just about the time breakfast got all fired up, we started seeing birds. There were quite a few high groups of Can's and a few that we could call at and at least get them gliding. Didn't get anything to drop in, but we honed our calling skills. Came home today with 5 ducks. One Bluebill and 4 Drake Mallards. Had a group of 5 come dive bombing on us and we coaxed them to about 10 yds, not real sure why our 5 guns only took 4 of the 5 that close, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fact that we face East. Yes that's right, some genius decided when moving the pit this year, that we should face right into the sun. Sun or no son it was nice to finally get into a group. Up to this point we had taken only 2 Mallards for the year. That's all for now, check back for the latest and greatest and thanks for all the hits.
