01/21/12 Duck Armor

I left the office early enough to sit in the stand Friday night and try to pick off a hog or...  This doe and a button buck came out and walked right under one of my ladder stands.  They hung out feeding in the pasture on planted oats for about 30 minutes.  Nothing else came out till after dark and I'll post that video when I can get it uploaded.

The blind is getting better with each load of brush hauled out and put on it.  Getting harder to see!

The ducks were tough to kill this morning.  We shot our 3 limits and they were down on the water but when we sent Brew to fetch them up they would get up as if not hit.  It was the strangest thing we have ever seen.  We ended up with 8 recovered mallards and 3 ninjas.  Dan was shooting green while Peacock was dusting the hens!  Overcast NNW wind but very light.  50 degrees.

 Dan is still captivated with SNAP-E-TOM, our newest beverage sponsor.  (If you see it, buy it.  It's worth reading the description on the can!  We do this at least twice everytime in the blind.)
