12/8/09

Me and Mitch went out today in search of some divers, swan, and maybe some geese. Things didn't quite work out like we had hoped. I scouted a little piece of open water on a really big frozen pond. I thought we were going to be the only ones crazy enough to brave the cold and snow this morning. I was wrong. When we got out there, somebody was already set up on the spot. We made a quick decision and set up on the ice with the just the goose decoys. We didn't end up seeing any geese but we did get a couple of groups of ducks to look our way. We ended with 5 scaup. It has been about 10 years since I killed a bluebill. They are really cool birds.
