As expected, few birds on the tanks. No feeding birds and all winter residents. Mostly teal. I haven't scouted the lakes lately.
No matter how high a duck flies a hammer still breaks a window.

Not a whole lot flying this morning and not much shooting, although I dont think alot of people ventured out this morning. I assume the ducks got down quick and held tight this morning with as cold and windy it was. Got 2 teal a gadwall and wigeon.

Had 30 minutes or so of ducks and that was it. They all wanted the decoys on a small ranch tank but they weren’t flying very long. It was pretty dang cold.

And not a water swat either! Very proud of her. She loves duck hunting and would have to to hunt in those conditions. Wind 20 out of the NW with snow. Duck weather no doubt!

I'm not complaining about a slow morning or season. I never mind a slow hunt and it doesn't take a pile of birds to make me happy. Just reporting what I'm seeing.
