Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 40-45 Degrees
we hunted friday evening. we got a lot of birds up when we went to our blind. blacks, bufflehead, and merganzers. so we thought the shooting would be pretty good. we didn’t get a shot and we didn’t hear any shots that evening. we did see a fair amount of birds, but nothing was interested. acted like they’ve had a lot of presure put on them. didn’t see a goose, dark or light. a lot of brant rafting up.

Cloudy, Heavy Fog – 50-60 Degrees
we couldn’t see if there was a lot of birds or not because of the fog. we could here the snow geese but couldn’t see them. there was a fair amount of shooting going on. most of the birds we saw were buzzing our decoys. we shot fairly well, but missed a few easy shots. we ended up killing six hen bufflehaed, one drake bufflehead, two hen merganzers, and three brant. it seams like each week we see a little bit more brant. the federal game wardens checked us out. they were ptrtty cool, but professional

hunted friday evening. when going out to our blind, there was a lot of ducks in front of it. there was a fair amount of ducks flying. we saw blacks, bufflehead, a gadwall, merganzer, and very few geese. we did havea flock of bufflehead buzz our decoys and we just dropped one hen. saturday morning we had a hen mallard quacking away in the decoys, but she left before leagal shooting time. had a nice flock of green wing teal buzz us out side the decoys. we saw a couple of canadian and heard snows way up high. there is a fair amount of black duck and bufflehead. there seams to be more brant down. early we did hear a fair amount of shooting, but it seamed to die off pretty quick. we did have a hen common merganzer decoy and we killed her. this was my puppies secound hunt and she got two retrieves.

we hunted the marsh this morning. we took two wounded warriors out with us this morning.there was a fair amount of shooting this morning.there was a fair amount of birds, but you can see a lot are still up north. what we saw was some canadian geese, a small flock of green wing teal, some brant,a fair amount of black duck, and buffle head. what we killed was two black duck, and seven hen buffle head. we dropped every bird that decoyed, but only one buffle head got out. today was my seven month old chesapeakes first hunt. she was a little confused at first, but we kept killing birds, she was getting better and putting this together. but she has a long way to go, but as far as hunting goes today was her starting point.

a lot of birds were moving early this morning. there is a fair amount black ducks, but they either flew high or held tight. the ducks that were moving were bufflehead and merganzers. we shot a drake hooded merganzer, four hen merganzers and two hen buffleheads. we didn’t see many canadians, no snows, and no brant. we didn’t hear many shots this morning. on the way home we saw some mallards and some canadian geese. maybe with the cold weather on the way we will see more birds.
