Late duck season blues.

Went with a buddy Tuesday and got a limit, but took us a while. It was a clear day and the teal flew early, lots of 'em. Went back this morning, cool, cloudy, intermittent rain, some thunder occasionally, but nothing real heavy. I figure this is gonna be a good morning, that the teal will keep flying a while longer. Well, the teal weren't flying at all! A few came in of course, but we only got 3 birds. I got started a bit slow, missed a few at first. Bummer. Late in the season and there are hundreds of birds on water here and there that isn't hunted we can see from the road. I guess they're just holing up where they ain't gettin' shot at.

Oh, well, it was still fun.

Part of the problem may be the weather. It was 40 degrees up here just outside ****cago. Went goose hunting this morning foggy got 3. If my cousin could have shot better we would have gotten our 4 goose limit. Duck is closed up here so of course we saw a couple hundred geenheads and a bunch of bluebills and buffelheads. I would venture a guess and say they have not had a reason to move all the way down yet. A friend of mine is So Il says they are still seeing teal and woodies down there.
