No chance to get out today. I saw probably 1000 birds yesterday, mostly blacks, a few teal and mallards, and one flock of twelve honkers that were absolutely huge but never came in range.
I'll get out again New Year's eve after work and then every weekend after that. I'll concentrate on the ducks until late goose opens, then I'll hit the fields if not too much snow.
After four years, I am actually learning what to do for success. Not every time, but expect to do some shooting every time out. Major lesson of last two years is to stay with "Hevi-shot", I cannot stand steel after having birds hit the ground and then fly away. And at almost $3 per shot, you definitely make sure the birds are in range before shooting.
