Slept in

[joeydpga]

Got up at 7. Made coffee, gave the chickens some corn and water. Fed the dogs. Slipped down to the creek behind my house and tossed out my new corks. Was able to get hid by 8. Not 10 minutes later had a pair of mallards come and try to sit next to my decoys. Shot the hen first, killed her stone dead, then two more shots and sailed the drake into the woods. Looked for about an hour but no luck.

Got to figure a way to get some food in there for next season.

I done something very similar last Monday. Pair of mallards, I killed the hen and the drake was hit but got away.

So who the hell shoots a hen first...... Really?

[quackaddict]

Good stuff...next time shoot the drake first though

Like that old Wingmaster too...those things are skraight up killers.

[Calibogue]

Well, other than you two dummies?

She was closest to the water, I figure I would shoot her then her boyfriend on the way up.

Thanks it's my Dad's gun. Made the year I was born. Only ever had a problem with it this year where the safety stuck half way and wouldn't let me shoot.

truth sauce here...

So what is the point of a hen around without the drake to breed her?

One drake can only service so many hens per day.

[Mars Bluff]

I'm just pissed that you got to sleep in & then saw two mallards much less killed one.

He's not shooting butterballs on the water, so what good is your gun?

Not that you need any advice from me, but...its the internet and I have to give my .02cents

rule #1 with multiple birds, shoot the far birds first. Always.

That's really good advice but sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the moment.

yep. just trying to impart a little bit of advice for others future reference.
everytime a group of birds heads my way, that is the only thing I think about...kill the tough shot first, then take your time with the chip shots. works wonders, and doubles and triples become common.

I'm just jealous he shot a mallard, its been 3 years for me.

[Relentlous]

I would rather kill one greenhead than a pair of pintails at this point of my life!
