Yup he along with that greenwing teal are full plumage. Too bad I already have my one duck into the taxi for the year. I'm limited to one a year lol

Setup on the river now. Scouted this spot the other day and saw lots of ducks here. Got a Gaddy and a bufflehead so far after 10 mins. Could be good.

One shy of our limit. It's my fault. I suck. My wife is better at everything hunting.

Extremely slow morning. Huge first flight and then nothing. Wind is picking up really good and we can see thousands are hiding in the marsh and not wanting to leave. My wife got three and me one. Each missed one

They surely are fine little specimens! They actually aren't quite full plumage, very close on almost every one but we haven't got one that was a no doubter. It doesn't help either that it's hard to not blow em up. They decoy easy and we are shooting 2s thru modified chokes. Almost every one we get we bust a wing, a leg, it's just carnage on em lol

What the hell is that duck? We dropped three mallards. Even though I've shot 1000s I guess I just can't resist a good Greenhead!

My go to for all waterfowl from jumping teal to geese in the decoys or anything is 2 steel and the Patternmaster code duck lol. Been many heads shot off in my spread. Use the same setup but with 7.5 target load for ruffed grouse too

No doubt 2s are the best all around when you might shoot anything from geese to teal. Early season and if I'm jump shooting or hunting a small pothole, I'll use IC. Big water and fields I go to modified.
Got 2 Gaddy now and missed on 4 widgeon. Should have easily dropped the drakes but we failed. 3 ducks to go and looking like it might happen!

One of the best days ever of duck hunting. Left the truck around 1130am. Good 15 to 20 min walk in. Back at the truck right at 3pm. They were just giving it up easy to the spread, ever waterfowlers dream.

Long night of cleaning two days worth of birds ahead of me! For supper tonight? Teal! We are going to eat two each so tomorrow we can legally shoot a total of 12 to wrap up our possession limit and head on home!

Man those teal on the grill were yummy!!!
Bedtime and up bright and early to see if we can knock down a few more fowl. Running low on shells so need to be extra focused on knocking em down good. I have a single shot (my gun broke on the first day) so that helps with burning through ammo. It's actually quite interesting how when you only have one shot how much you really focus on making it count. I'm probably shooting like 90% with the single shot.

Objective this morning was to focus and try to just shoot drakes. One hour in and so far 9/10 on drakes only. Pretty sure we saw our first Mexican ducks up close but didn't shoot because we thought they were hen mallards. When the pair banked over the deeks at 30 yards I realized they were pretty dark colored and too late to pull up and shoot. Darn.

Only that one mistake. We also did super well and only missed three ducks. I guess 2 days of prior practice helps!
