movement

When in doubt, move on out! That was my motto for our hunt last week. After the first spot we went to proved to be a futile effort (a pond called the “secret hole”… apparently so secret, the ducks didn’t even know it was there), we decided to make a move around 8 am. We hadn’t pulled the trigger the whole time leading up to then, so we figured, what the heck! Our next stop proved to be a little more successful, scratching out a handful of ducks over the next hour or so. Then, it shut off again! What to do? Move on out, I say. Move on out. By the time we came out of our third blind, we were only 3 birds shy of a 3 person limit. Even though it can be frustrating having to move around so much, it is nice to change up the scenery, and it gives you a little more variety in terms of the types of shots you are able to take. All in all, another successful hunt!

We had another awesome hunt this morning, so stay tuned for more on that tomorrow! (Just as a teaser, I was able to get a video of 10-12 swans flying over us.. eek!)
