He did some scouting yesterday and asked if I wanted to go bust some ducks today. Well I had a few days I need to take in the next week so I told my boss I had some business that I needed to tend to today and took the day off . He knew exactly what I was doing and told me good luck. Well this morning Anthony and I got to his spot at 6am and he took the job of putting the deke's out and we came up with a good plan for a blind so I started making the blind for us. He got the deke's out and I was getting some grass to cover the downed tree we used as a blind then he tells me he is going to put the boat around the corner so I continued to get grass and on my way back to the blind 3 birds land in the dekes about 10 minutes before LST. I started to get excited and we finished up the blind about 5 minutes till LST and birds were still landing in the deke's. LST came and we knocked two birds down and I had one I thought I hit go down around the point. I told him I was going to walk over there and get it and just as I get to the point and realize the bird was fine. I hear him call and see two bird circling the blind. I just sit and watch from about 100yds away and they cup and get in front of the blind and Anthony drops them both. It was awesome. Charlie gets them all in the blind about the time I show back up birds were cupping into the dekes again. It didn't take long and we had all our limit but I needed one. A spoonie circled and I need a bird for the freezer for the new pup but I just couldn't bring myself to call it in and shoot it. After a little while I began to think I wasn't going to fill my limit and two gaddies came toward and I called they circled and landed out of range...dang it. They hadn't sat there 5 min and I see a single on the other side of the point where the boat was and called and it turned. I laid off the call this time and she came all the way into the dekes and I smoke her. I would love to tell you there was 12 shots and 12 birds but we didn't start the day off real well shooting but once we got warmed up hammered them. Here is my first limit ever...Thanks to Anthony and I had a BLAST. I hope to do it again and it was a pure pleasure to hunt with Anthony and Charlie. She is the sweetest little (55lb) lab and does a great job getting the birds. Our limit as Anthony went to get the boat: My first limit (you'll never hear me biotch about teal they are some tasty little critters and FUN to shoot Matter of fact I can't pass on them ): Thanks again Anthony and Charlie, it was FUN! Oakley was not real pleased when I came home smelling like duck This morning she wasn't to upset when I left her sleeping in the bed on my side

Had a great time today Judd! Good to meet you and your welcome with me anytime.
the thing about baiting is, even a rookie hunter could have a 170 bird season if they bait holes

nothin' better than picking up dekes because you have to rather than because you're tired of standing there watching nothing.
