I did 2 hunts yesterday. Haven't hunted all day in years. I've come to realize that's exhausting!
Had a 92 year old Vet that could only hunt in the AM. Tide sucked, but I told him we'll get him some ducks.
The wigeon were thick. Reverse migration is in full effect and we picked up a shit ton of birds last week.
He served from 1945-1950 in the Army

Tide was awful and I knew we'd be stuck. Had second hunter meet me at ramp at 1230 for a afternoon flood tide hunt. Actually floated boat around noon so barely made it.
20 year old Active duty kid. Packed my entire bull out of a shithole 2 years ago, because I made some excuse of my knees hurting. His dad was my first roommate when I joined in 1987
Put him in the solo blind and I sat behind and pulled on the jerk string and called. Hunted til LST of 1731. Home by 1810. Tired! Successful day for all!
