I can't usually do it,
but last night's weather in Big D allowed me to weasel my way into working from home and I just decided I'd get a late start on the working part.
So I did a quick hunt, my 10th solo of the year. Here is a pic:
^ ah, hell, next time I'll shoot one. Instead of "at one." Only love I got was a GWT hen about 15 minutes after legal, right in the spread. Stand up, wait, cuz I decide I want to shoot it in the air, all fancy-like, but then something odd happened. A 15 yard shot with no extenuating circumstances and yet I miss. Well there was one thing. Just like shootin clays at the range in late fall. Sun still up: ok. Up until sunset: Ok. After dark and when the lights are on: Ok. Between sunset and pure dark: can't see a darn thing. Yeah, the teal and the shore opposite me sort of blended together at an unfortunate time. Everybody needs an excuse, right?

It must have snowed a lot over there. Ha Ha. It's ok. I missed a pin last year at less than 15 feet. It happens to the best of us.

I like that way of thinking.
That's a little bit of Arkansas logic for ya. Plus if you let them all hit the water first, they take off slower. I've killed 4-5 birds per group, personally, on several occasions. Can't wait to get a full limit in 3 shots. That's my goal.
