Christmas came early today!

Woke at 5:30 and awoke Brandon..."time to go!"

Fired up the truck, and got dressed...

Drove to the barn and loaded up the truck...

Front had started to push through as the fog and drizzle had moved out...and you could see the stars and moon...

Drove across town and to the property...

Set up a dozen teal and a dozen mallards...

LST comes around and a flock of teal dump in...Brandon pulls up and drops a double...I pulled up and shot one...

Then as Brandy goes to get them...2 Gadwalls fall in on my side...I pull up and drop both...

A few minutes pass and another Gadwall drake drops in and Brandon pulls up and drops it...

Then a single GWT drake lands, I jump it and drop it...

We then had another pair of teal sit down, but Brandon passed on them as he wanted big ducks...

After that we had several pairs and groups fly by but they didn't work in????

Finally we had 2 gadwalls drop in, Brandon pulls up and starts to unload on them, I pull up and do the same...and we Wiffed 6 shots!!!!!!

After that we called it a morning!

Great morning with the boy...

Did we limit - NO

What we did have was a GREAT time together, and I got to spend a morning with my son!

Merry Christmas Ya'll!

Take the next couple days to remember what is really important in life!

Lucky kid to have a Dad like you...

Merry X-Mas JJ! Hopefully you and Brandy can come over to play during or after the Holidays.

Same hear Had three hunters killed 13 ducks. Ducks wouldn't respond to call and acted real nervous if they lit they landed wild or a lot of times when they came in feet down they would pull up and try to beat it out there. Yesterday differnt story 4 hunters 20 ducks in 30 minutes no green though all gray ducks and widgeon. Congrats on the string of green yesterday.

That boy can call ducks better than 99% of us!!
Hopefully the Kent boys will let the rest of us shoot a mallard or two this year. Can I have a greenhead, Santa JJ. Please, I've been real good.

My boy is 6 and loves to go. I hate going without him. Great photos.
