I have not been on any hunts yet this year where at least someone in the group got a duck...all those but one I got at least one duck. However I've been on multiple attempted hunts this year where I didnt so much as toss a decoy because something got F'd up. I've never had that happen as many times as it's happened to me so far this year.

It's really not so bad when something happens once and for whatever reason you can't hunt but when things happen over and over again it's pretty frustrating. Boat troubles, atvs, and locked gates have been my problems.

No skunks yet! But I did shoot a Canvasback drake that dove after I shot him, and he never resurfaced. First time thats ever happened to me. That upset me some.

My success in life is measured by the number of hunting
and fishing stories that my kids can share with others...

I have been out a few times and not personally shot a duck, namely because I let my son take all the shots or others in my group, but my group has not been skunked if that counts.

I skunked once or twice... Most times I get at least one to come in close enough for someone to shoot at it.



Wasn't born in Texas, but I got there as fast as I could.

Another goose egg this morning. We quit early because my partner in crime got cold (8:00). I did get to shoot a duck before we left but that junky Mossberg 500 waterfowl I bought my son cost me a follow up shot I needed to close the deal. I'm going to see about getting a new one on the warranty or getting cash back so I can get another 870 like I should have done in the first place. He's shooting my 870 now because the Mossberg keeps missing shells out of the tube and misfiring and doesn't pattern near as well as the 870.
As far as our hunt goes, we did have a lot better reaction to our spread by adding a pair of mallard duck butts. Before we were just getting ignored all together since the ducks have been feeling the heat. This morning I had every group that came near our spread circle for at least one look and had one group do it three times before flairng off. I still have something going on they don't like. I just have to figure out what it is.
