I decided to give Jethro a chance and hunt with me Monday aft. After a quick run around the swamp I decided to come back on our side where we had pushed up at least 50 ducks.After about 30mins after setting up the ''dekes'' we were shooting the shit about safety rules I have. He said no problem. Than a group of shouvler ducks, about 25 flew in at 45-50kmph. Jethro says flip ducks.We jumped up and fired 3 shots each Jethro was scratching his head, 3 ducks down. He said ''did you get em all? I said ''no he got 1. After about 5mins he's replaying the shots an says no he got 0. I tried to let him think he got 1 so he would relax an get some confidence in his shooting ability. Stubborn guy he is. Anyways after a few mins later some more ducks came in a couple fell. This time Jethro did get a duck! He was smiling ear to ear.(priceless). After collecting them we went back into the blind started talking again I saw 2 ducks coming right in I said ok Jethro take em. I sat Jethro shot 2 rounds and a duck at 35 yds fell stone dead! mergansizer. Great shot. He told me he was shooting a little high, I told him to change out to a smaller pin, Than the dam thing broke..Well we couldn't get it back together. WHOOPS . Anyways end of day Jethro went home with 6 ducks we lost 1. To bad we didn't have YAGER!!! Well thats my report was a good time. flip

Well.... After getting royally SKUNKED on my solo trip to Bancroft area in pursuit of grouse and bunnies, I was beginning to feel like a lesser hunter... In the meantime, flip kept making generous offers to have a day of duck hunting with him on the Bay. Okay, I may not be a very smart man but I can take a hint, and needing to shoot something ASAP helped me jump at the chance and go with the duck guru on this board! Didn't get much sleep and shut the alarm befoer it went off - my wife hates the sound with a passion! The morning was a bit wet but not that cold although the winds were picking up which flip felt was a good sign! I don't hunt ducks every year and I had never shot a Mallard in the past 34 years. I did on Friday! Also, I had never in my life shot a teal, but I got a beauty grren-winged teal on Friday! Also, I don't think I had ever shot a wigeon before either, so I got two of those with one shot on Friday! Gee, can it possibley get better? Sure! I killed my first ever pintail too!!! We added 3 coots in the end to our ten ducks in the boat. I was surprised to hear that people aren't so crazy about these chicken-like birds. They tasted alright and my uncles taught me that they were one of cleanest feeding birds on the water because they only eat vegetable matter and not much else. I had a GREAT DAY and can't thank my friend flip enough for it. Took me a long time to clean all those birds and felt sick the next day but it was all totally worth it. I hope to do it again someday soon. Since I still can't post pictures here I am posting a link... s643.photobucket.com/albums/uu155/Hawkman1/
