Out of State Flooded Fields and Timber 2005

[SNAP Hunter]

First day didn't get any pictures but we had two guns in flooded fields and ended up with: 2 Bull Sprigs, 4 Gadwall, 4 GWT and 1 Mergie.

The 2nd day in flooded timber we had four guns and ended up with 2 Greenheads, 5 Woodies and 1 Mergie:


The 3rd day in flooded timber we had five guns and 2 Mallards, 7 Woodies and 1 Mergie:


The fourth day no pictures but killed 1 Bull Sprig, 1 Greenhead, 2 Mergies in flooded fields.

The fifth day we had four guns and I finally killed my first federal banded bird(Woodie drake)and the Bull Sprig was killed in the timber. It was with a bunch of Mallards.


The last day wasn't as good but we didn't go home empty handed:


As usual we should have killed more and that is due to either screwing up some birds that were working or not shooting that well but I guess that is the way it goes. I have never seen so many Mergies in flooded timber and boy do they look like woodies at the beginning of shooting hours. I am still waiting for the band report to arrive in the mail.

Here are pictures of my band, the Pintail and Duchess:

Nice work there SNAP...glad to see that someone is on em! How do you like that Stealth 1200. I have one and it is one handy little boat.

[SNAP Hunter]

The stealth is a great boat and will hold three grown men and alot of gear. It will also float in very little water. Also, works well for a layout boat in flooded fields with some cover. Also, one person can handle it pretty good. One of the best $600.00 investments I have ever made.

Sweet, that gravel looks familiar
