Day 36: Real slow

Share This Article

I don’t know what happened, but Thursday was real slow. We didn’t get but four ducks and didn’t see that many. Two days ago the spot where we went today was lit up with ducks, but for some reason they left. I have no idea why.

A bunch of folks I talked to didn’t see that many either. I don’t know if they were moving out ahead of the cold weather or what. That doesn’t seem to make sense. I think the best explanation is that they spread out and got in all this slash water we have from the rains. There are shallow water areas everywhere.

That’s why they call it hunting. We may be crazy, but we are going in the morning. I don’t know if it will be thawed out enough to hunt Saturday and Sunday, so we’re going after them tomorrow.
