12/18/09 Goldeneyes

Todd, Mitch, and I went out to the Bear River to find some goldeneyes. Actually Mitch found them last week and we finally made it out there to hunt them. We got out there a little late because the gate was frozen closed and they couldn't get it open. Finally we made it out and there were ducks everywhere. Mitch's boat was just a little small to handle 3 guys, a big dog, and the gear so we had to make two trips out there. It was well worth it though. Ended up with 21; 20 goldeneyes and 1 merganser. They are a blast to shoot. Its a little different than shooting mallards. We went through about 70 shells to get our limits. Can't wait to do it again.
