| Well there is ten hours I'll never get back! | |
| We were hoping with the "BIG" front coming in there would be a | |
| push of ducks and geese. NOT! But like they, who ever "they" | |
| are, A bad day hunting is better than any day working. | |
| It wasn't BAD just very SLOW. No geese and only a few ducks. My | |
| son earlier in the year took the boat down the river from Ulm to | |
| a sand bar where the Smith dumps in and dug some pit blinds. | |
| That was our destination. We got to the boat ramp and about to | |
| splash the cow when some other hunters pull up and pile out. The | |
| asked if we where going up or down I said down and they said oh | |
| to the pits? Crap the world knows out secret spot... They | |
| decided to go elsewhere. Down we go, you have never lived till | |
| you run the river in an over loaded duck boat in pitch | |
| blackness. About the time we get near the bar we see 3 head | |
| lamps . Here some people had walked in pushing a game cart full | |
| of decoys, to our PITS!!!! Well nuts! We almost ran on to a | |
| island about half way back so we headed back there there. Not | |
| the first choice but as it turned out it made no difference. 96 | |
| goose and duck decoys and three "spinners", and we we're set. | |
| That's just what we did, sit ,sit and sit. DIL shot the only | |
| duck that flew by... Loaded back up and went back to the ramp by | |
| 4:00. Three other boats went by one was a 20 jet with a "V" 8. | |
| He must have smacked the sand bar we bumped on the way in but | |
| I'm thinking he had to do some shoveling. There is a sound you | |
| just "Know" when you drive a jet. He was a jerk anyway. When he | |
| unloaded his tub and parked. He blocked another guy and parked | |
| across the access to the handy caped parking and out house. I | |
| don't know why a lot of people lose 50 IQ points when the get to | |
| a boat ramp. What goes around comes around! | |
| Well that it for this trip. Son is hunting elk wit my Buddy | |
| today. Next week , Coyote calling YAH!!!!![/FONT] | |

| Great looking decoy's, guess timing is everything when it comes | |
| to huntin ducks and geese. They just cut a 350 acre corn field | |
| right acrossed the road from my house but the geese haven't | |
| found it yet. Once they do I can pass shoot them off the back | |
| deck of my house ;D , got the gun loaded. Duck hunting is down | |
| for the first split, comes back in on the 29th of Nov. Hope to | |
| have some flight birds here by then. | |
