Went on a mornin hunt to the lake about 2 days ago! I didnt really pay attention to the lake till about 7:00! Reason is i had a dilema whether to shoot this buck or not! Thought it would be safer to not shoot it because not sure if it was a 13 inch spread! Anyways looked out on the lake and had about 100+ ducks on there! Now no mallards but a lot of ring necks and acouple of widgeons here and there! But I thought they came later on in october but i guess not! It looks like its gonna be a good season already!!
