XMAS Ducks




I went out with Ron on 12/24 in a Tidal River and had a fantastic day. We paddled the Bathtub(Square back Canoe) out to a remote section and set up with a mix of Mallard and Diver Decoys.
Within 45 minutes we had on Malard hen in the boat. We also missed a few lol.

The Mallards then dissapeared and we where then buzzed constantly by Sea Ducks. Buffle heads and the Mergs came in. Many were just out of shooting range. A few did make it into the boat though. I got one beautiul Hooded Merganser. The other four we harvested were hens.
Conditions were perfect, 20 deg. Good stiff NW wind with overcast clouds most of the morning.

A nice Xmas present for us.
