2 hunts 2 ducks

went out 2 times during early season. didn't have much luck but managed to score two birds. hoping to have better luck come regular season.

new canoe for the crew

the duck crew pitched in and purchased a new canoe for sta trips and such. johnny and i decided to give it a paint job. we drew and cut out the stencils by hand.

preduckseason party

We had what hopefully will be come an annual preduckseason cookout party. We took all the ducks left over from last season and the moorhens we shot a few weeks ago and made sausage out of them. Johnny grilled the legs as an appetizer and leah made an amazing duck sausage spinach alfredo pasta. We invited our friends over and had a great time.

more moorhen

We went back out to do a little scouting for early duck season and shoot a few more moorhens. This time Andrew joined us for his first moorhen slaughter. We shot a three man limit of 45 birds. Most of the birds were shot in the air which is a nice change for moorhen. I also shot one sora rail. We saw lots of woodies and several large groups of teal. I had a blast and laughed more than I have in a long time.

moorhen massacre

 

Johnny and I went to murder some moorhens. We shot a two man limit of 30 birds. Saw several wood ducks which is good news for early season. We cleaned all the birds and will be making sausage out of the breasts. We also saved the legs which we will most likely grill.
