Was setting up to be a very unsuccessful hunt… and bitterly cold. Got lucky this morning though! ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/01/full-69876-410889-img_6547.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/01/full-69876-410890-img_6538.jpeg)

Yeah....I need a good drake for the wall, wouldn't shoot one otherwise. Taste like the trash can at the fish cleaning station.

I've always said you can make sausage out of anything. Mergansers take that statement to the limit.
No matter how high a duck flies a hammer still breaks a window.

Nice of you to let TH get in the photo! We both know he couldn't hit water if he fell out of the boat. Glad to see you both are doing well
