    Default Florida bluebills

    For the first time since I have been down in Florida during the season, I have found time to do some duck hunting. Four times this week, I have made the 60 mile drive to the hunting area. Every morning I watch upwards of 200 to 300 bluebills land within shooting distance and hundreds more in the sky. Due to logistics I have not yet bought a kayak down here to provide the opportunity to hunt the STAs and other wildlife management areas that are holding a greater variety. Over 4 hunts I reached my solo bluebills limit each day, and brought along a friend this morning to get his pair. While the teal have moved out the area and the Florida mallards (mottled ducks) were extremely call and decoy why , I had a blast exploring a new area. There were even a few morning where it was cold enough to allow my dog in on the action.








    I kindly tried to waive off these bass fisherman that fished just outside of my spread, but down here in the name of "tournament fishing" bass fishermen have "the priority."

    Good killing
    No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
