Duckblog: Duck Hunting

It's been awhile since my last update, which has mainly been due to being ridiculously busy. I ended up going out duck hunting last weekend with my friend Kevin. My Dad and brother also went hunting in the same spot but they hunted out of a different boat.

It was kind of a last minute deal getting Kevin's boat and everything ready to go but it worked out. I thought Kevin was going to go hunting with his Dad, but his Dad ended up going to the lake so Kevin came with us. He just had a trolling motor on the boat which was just barely enough to get by on the lake we were hunting on. Saturday was a good day of hunting as Kevin and I shot 8 ducks and one Canadian Goose total between us. Sunday it was super windy out and we just hunted from shore and killed 3 ducks. We drove back Sunday afternoon and played in our weekly hockey ice rental that night.

It was a fun weekend but we really didn't get as much shooting in as I would have liked. The ducks all seemed to be in the flooded fields instead of flying over the lake we were hunting. Next time we go out we might have to find a different location to hunt from.

Here are some pics from the hunt:
