Saw a lot of birds flying but they just wouldn't come in. I guess I need to work on my calling

Had about a dozen come in 10 minutes before legal; about 3-4 groups. Flew off before legal. Then two GWT came in just after legal. Got those. Didn't see anything after that. Heard some geese, but never saw them.

Well as the saying goes, "the are no birds in central texas!" I think I heard maybe 5 shots and of course it was off in the distance. I think some local birds or catfish died.
It was nice to be able to go.

Good lord. I hunted a lake I've not hunted before. Got to the ramp at 4. 8 rigs already there. I had 3 spots scouted out. I barley got to my third before it was taken. First 2 was LONG gone taken lol. Saw lots of birds that would not work. 1 canvasback in the bag.
Should have maybe deer hunted.

We killed 4 gadwall and 1 merganser. Saw 12 ducks total. I was working my newest lab on his first duck hunt, so I paid attention to him more than shooting ducks. Not bad for what I'd been seeing... unfortunately I checked the other 2 spots we have after hunted and no ducks.

4 man limit. Should have been easier than it was. We had lots and lots of ducks but as usual concealment was a challenge at this particular spot which made it hard to get them to finish. We still got our limits but was pretty sickening to see group after group flare.

I'm in SE Kansas taking care of family business, bucks are chasing does and turkeys are out. Mid to low 30's at night. I've only seen a few wood ducks in the back area creeks. Big ducks haven't made a big presence here yet.
