Soakin wet for a widgeon

[jagermeister]

As I'm sure everyone has noticed, the weather has been more conducive to duck hunting than deer hunting lately. I decided to head out to some public land after work and sit through the rain. Even with waders and frogg toggs, I still managed to get pretty damn wet. I saw quite a few mallards flying high and one group of about a dozen or so wood ducks. The only bird that worked my decoys this afternoon never made it out alive... One shot, one kill. I was surprised when I waded over to it and saw that it was a widgeon. In 13 years of duck hunting, this is the first widgeon I've ever dropped the hammer on. I was pretty pumped.


sorry for the terrible pic quality

Nice! I will be heading to public land tomorrow morning to do a solo hunt and work the pup. This will be her second hunt, so she is still completely green. I am hoping the birds are there so she can get the full experience.

Lol. This was only my second trip waterfowling there, and it was a different spot, but I could tell this area was pounded by human traffic since the opener. I did manage to double-up on some geese at a different spot there last year.
