My wife left for a business trip so it has just been me and the kids. So, I decided to take today off work and do some scouting and hunting. There was an area I was interested in hunting but didn't want to have my first trip there in the dark.
So, this morning I dropped the kids off at daycare/school and headed out.
Had the boat launched by 8:00 am. Scouted for about an hour. Scared up 3 mallards along the way.
I found a spot that looked promising, so I set some deeks and blind. Since I had most of the day I figured I'd give this spot a try for an hour or two. Didn't see one duck in two hours. Time for more scouting.
Checked out a few more areas and made lots of mental notes. Then I found another area that looked good. It was a little tricky getting in but once in I thought if anything was flying I would have a shot.
Hung out in this spot for awhile and didn't see anything but cormarants and lots these.
Other then the geese the most movement I saw was from
Cali was ready to go early in the day
Cali has had a very slow year with only 2 ducks to her credit so far this season. She gave up waiting on ducks.
If the ducks had been flying this is what they would have seen.
I finally called it and did some training with Cali. She was pretty rusty since we hadn't really trained lately, we have been hoping to actually get some ducks.
As I was heading back to the boat ramp I noticed an area that needed to be checked out. And of course I find about 4 dozen ducks back in this area. That's just my luck. Another mental note. No time to hunt I have kids to pick up.
All in all a very slow day, but it was good to be on the water and it was better then being at work.
