I’m not sure, she don’t pay no mind to it. I can’t stand it to be honest. One day is enough for me, kind of like the beach.

We made it back. Tried to post out there but barely had service. 8 of us hunted out of 4 boats way down in the “Gulf of America”!
We arrived at the launch with good weather and calm water to take the 40 minute ride down the Mississippi River. Unloaded the boats and set up camp, then we got a game plan to go scout some areas. We returned with the same results, just a few ducks here and there. Started a fire at dark and cooked a pot of tators w sausage. Shit I think I was the first one in bed at 8 o’clock. Woke up to have the tide out but would rise all day. Most places were high and dry so we ended up at the gulfs edge with just a canvasback killed. At noon we ate a sammich and changed up hunting partners and dug out for a new area now that we had water. I was getting agitated because we weren’t seeing any ducks at all. Almost 5 hours baking in the sun and waiting then some ducks began to fly. We had a group of canvasbacks come in and we dropped 3. Some more came in and at the end of shooting time we had our limit for 3 hunters, 6 canvasbacks.
I went to bed early, was tired as Pearl was ready also. It was a long day. Laid down and search on ONX to find a way to get into a location with no water. This morning worked out great from my homework. Set up before shooting time and the canvasback flocks didn’t disappoint. Had them coming is in groups of 10-30 at a time. We quickly killed our 6 and killed 2 redheads. Next was a teal and then we shot 4 scuap “dos gris”. Passed on some pintails that were hens and drakes w no sprig. We shot a ruddy duck and a gadwall. We waited to shoot out pintails but it didn’t work out so we ended w 15 ducks. Had a great hunt.

Turns out the “ruddy duck” ended up being a common scoter hen.
