11-5: Headed out around 9:30ish on my bike and rode to my spot. Had a big drake pinny buzzing my head as i threw out my decoys. Alot of people shooting around me and I had yet to shoot a shot. The wind turned on around 12:30ish and so did the ducks had a fairly good shoot till 1:30 when the wind shutoff ended up with 1drake mallard 1drake wigeon 1hen wigeon and 2drake pinnys.

11-12: Headed out around 9ish to around the same area as my last shoot this time with my friend and his dad. Was set up by 10:00with a good wind/good shower Shots were fairly consistant from 11:00 on and around 11:30 wind shifted coming from the northwest with snow [Smile] ducks would come floating right over top of us ended up with 17 ducks out of 3 of us managed to only shoot 3 hens. 7drake greenwing teal,1hen greenwing teal, 3drake pintail, 1hen pintail, 3drake wigeon, 1hen wigeon and 1drake shovler.

None those trips bit I was out at ogden bay last night and seen alot flying everywhere. I guarantee you can shoot a swan when harold crane is nearly frozen you just have too time it perfect and they'll be ten feet off the ground.

I have the birds routine figured out. They'll leave this spot in the morning and trickle back in around 12ish so lucky for me I get too sleep in a little.

Today on the north end was 3 groups of 8 Swans 2 groups flew off around 2:00,left that area before the third got up. Several flocks were flying tonight around 4:30,Crazy what a couple days makes. I wish I had a swan permit tonight,Had 3 fly over my head,low. Duck hunting was slow-Blue bird day, but got better when the clouds rolled.
Just want to send out a big middle finger to those duck hunters that are leaving empty shells all over the dikes. PIGS! PICK UP AFTER YOURSELFS! I picked up a bunch tonight.
