Was going to hunt solo today but roofer (Carl) and I pm'ed back and forth and decided to hunt together. He is a nice guy and it was a pleasure meeting him today. Our hunt was pretty slow, started out with about 6 teal coming in 5 min after LST. I dropped a nice drake, I think Carl shot at one with a kevlar vest on (so he says  ). We then had 3 mallards circling and they disappeared but while we were focusing on them an immature gad drake came from behind us and presented a perfect shot at his underbelly. Carl whacked him clean. Had one lone greenhead come within 45-50 yards after that and we each shot but he was too far away to bring down. We had been messing with the same duck for a good half hour. He orignally landed about 200 yds away and we tried to coax him with a variety of sounds. He didn't play ball until I used the darn blue wing teal call! Pretty wierd. That was it for the action. It was a beautiful morning and was great being in the outdoors. Carl with the birds.

Sorry to hear it was slow. At least you got out on the water and met a new bud. I was trapped behind this freakin' desk all day...

It was a great time. I am still trying to figure out how that gadwall was not dead by the time it hit the water. It had no brains left.

That beak color was troubling me. There was no green on the wing. It is a juvenile. It is dinner. Guess my pin whistle works.
We do not have them in New England. I will get it right next time, thanks for the help.
