2 man limit
16 degrees.
Broke ice to make a 20' x 40' hole
12 decoys on edge.
3 motion swimmers.
Done by 7:10
Had over 200 birds try to land in the hole.
Back in the office by 7:52 (Sticking it to the man.)
Epic comes to mind.

Excellent! Where we hunt we're standing in the water. I would freeze solid in the 10 minutes of shooting.

We hunted down around Eagle Lake and saw ZERO ducks just a mile from where we saw hundreds on Monday.

Ya got me, I was actually done in 9 min. but didn't want to come off as a pretentious braggart so I rounded up.

But seriously, it depends where you are hunting right?



Dang it, I could have been shooting earlier!

Maybe for you it's 7:10 since you're out west. It was 6:51 for me this morning.

Just bc your shooting time is X doesn't mean it's that way for the entire state

That is a great hunt! Had some fast ones in the ice over the years.

But... I fail to see how getting to the office before 8 AM is sticking it to the man?!?!?! confused2

Well, it actually feels like I stole something by sneaking in a hunt before work. But I get your point. Was probably the lingering effects of lack of blood to brain. loco

That’s how it feels when I get a hunt in before work, too.

Nice job. I’d frame that second picture of your dog.

From my perspective, stickin' it to the man would mean sneakin' into work a couple hours late. Not that I would ever do such a thing... like today... maybe. whistle

Duck hunted with a guy once, I’m shooting the BS when he puts his hand over his phone and says “Shhhhh, I’m in a meeting.”

Lol. I did a phone interview while dove hunting once. I shot a few times during it as well. Didn't get the gig. Haha
