    Good stuff @lumberjack.
    Have you had much interest in the calling comp. Might sneak up to it

    Nothing like sitting at the pond just you and the dog and taking it all in ah @Dundee
    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    6 more mallards a parrie and a quail dealt to tonight.
    Hunted a small pond just up the road and it's a whole different ball game to the irrigation ponds I hunted over opening weekend. I really enjoyed the dynamics of the small pond it meant every bird that dropped in was in range and fair game.
    Also we shot from the cover if some long grass under a willow tree instead of layout blinds which was a nice change.

    That is the second drake shot this season with one leg.
    The bridge access to the pond has an eel lurking under the bridge.
