Mixed bag yesterday morning in central Texas. Had some, gaddwall, ring necks, and even a hooded merganser. Didn't get a pick of all the ducks but here is what my son got. Cold and windy with a 12 degree wind chill. Also, if shooting light would have been about 10 minutes earlier, we would have slaughtered them. Had probably 75+ birds come in just before shooting light.

I want to go Wednesday morning but I am not going to risk driving on ice to shoot a few more ducks. Plus I already have a few hunts on ice and am not rushing to get back into another one. Especially with the dog. Ice tore up her front legs last hunt we had as she broke through it.

Ha! I was out last year when it was 18 degrees in Garwood. Frozen ponds, frozen guns and a frozen dog. Was a great morning.

I was out this morning, 19 degrees and it stunk. Probably saw 75-100 wood ducks today and they were tree top high going 100 miles an hour. We were on the best hole on the place and it hasn't been hunted this year. We had two birds drop in. We jumped 50 plus off this hole on our way out, at Christmas. Outside of our Christmas Eve hunt, this year has been slow.

Honestly, I am ready for the season to be over. We have been skunked more times this year than I can ever remember.

We're going. Hunted pass 10:00 yesterday, only saw 9 and got 2. Heard one volley up river a few miles and that was it.

If the snow falls like forecasted, Im cutting it short to run home and play outside with the kids.

Maggie and I braved the 17F weather this morning. Windchill was probably in the singles. The tank dam was a great protector though. Didnt have to brave it long, we had 6 shots 6 ducks by 740. A public limit is always nice. We had only seen 7 ducks at that point.

4 mallards circled but saw her running the bank with the 2nd teal from a double.

1.5 mile walk into a pond on the edge of the lake. A boater was headed to the same spot and continued on. I talked to him on my walk out his motor had died as I walked by, he was headed back to the ramp but he was able to get back underway.

Managed to scratch out the first hunt of the season at the duck lease today, and the last. Shot at two gadwalls, got one. He was good--pan fried in olive oil with salt and pepper this evening.

The color and look--even on the gray ducks--is always a treat.

Skunk this morning. If memory serves, that's a first from my blind. Had one wood duck sneak past us and that was it. Still nice to be out in it. I wouldn't be able to stand not going.
