Asked AndyH the question - Ducks? Being the final weekend of the duck hunting season, I would have expected quite a big crew to go along to the ponds. In the event, only dad, Andy and a mate of his did. The swamp was flooded, with water up to the first step. That's always cool to see.
So, email from Andy said:
Yerp.
I got a drake Saturday – small morning flight but the evening was dead. Floods in the swamp – it was very cool. Got up to over the bottom step.
Sunday was good. Mark (workmate) and Dick shot one each early on, Dicks AWOL. I got a spoonie drake (should have had the brace) while they were out retrieving and then later Mark got another drake.
So many birds flying it was insane! Called at least 10 groups around but no takers. One or two missed chances but mostly stayed too high.
Ended the season 343 ducks taken.
Was good.
